It is for these reasons that folks try and break into the world of brokering non-residential loans and have a very tough time which prompts a long period of time to actually get your fist deal done.

I cringed a bit when I read "but I haven't had time to count my missed calls and emails"...With a couple of successful start-ups under my belt, I can't state how paramount it is to promptly convert call-backs into sales or at the very least, a solid connection.

I always tell the seller I can't make an offer without that info as I can't get financing without it and that usually prompts them to supply it.

So to summarize, tenant selection is the key, and making legitimate repairs promptly.

Those guys like time and materials =getting paid prompt or on completion.

If the damage shall exceed such sum, Seller shall promptly notify buyer in writing of the damage and this offer may be canceled at option of buyer.

Bill Gulley I can't thank you enough for your prompt responses. :) The only tax issue is the property tax reassessment exemption allowed by Prop 58.

I have been impressed at the prompt, direct and knowledgeable team members.

Thanks for the prompt reply Steven,His goal is to pay his mortg. as soon as possible.BB

I'm pretty sure it's too late for me to go back to the sellers to pitch in for the repairs (I seriously doubt they knew about the problems, as they were prompt to fix everything on the inspection punch list).
