Great post @Joe S.! It’s

Give them the courtesy of a sit-down. 

Your sitting at about 40% equity position.

Problem with many of them I see this far north is November thru March they kinda sit or you have to discount the daily rate so much that you only might break even.

It’s taking Seller a while to provide the HVAC report but while time passes after due diligence - Flooring cost is way too expensive at the price point they’re asking for 130K + Care of property never took place till decided to sell so I’m not comfortable any longer - Home sits on corner lot on a slight hill with crawl space - Lots of weather changes has caused the home to settle + improper supports needed. 

I’d much rather be working with my hands than sitting in front of a PC Honestly, it shouldn't take you a whole ton of time to do research once you know what you want to do.

There's a lot of would-be investors in the Bay Area sitting on a ton of equity, but they have killer 3.5% interest rates from 2012 that they don't want to let go of.

So no giant pile of cash to target sitting around somewhere. 

We want to buy it from him but he has not quieted the title.

@Christian Licata I realized I wasn’t going to get anywhere just sitting on the sidelines and so I spent several weeks analyzing my target market and ended up choosing a SFH that was in a great location.
