At the closing table he was wearing ratty old jorts: jean shorts cut off at an in appropriate height on his 80 year old thighs, and a dirty muscle T that must have been purchased from Woolworths for 15 cents in 1950.

You just need to stay focused and get it done.If the cleanup is a family project then no doubt there will be some that will be thinking picking over cleaning which is fine I suppose as long as they know that within minutes the muscle is coming through and that pile is gone.    

To get the best price though, it may require some muscle and time.

Originally posted by Mr_Investor:I'd get California under contract and flip it to Mexico for an assignment fee :mrgreen: Nope Mexico has no money either...Now those drug lords in Mexico those guys have serious $ $ $ and muscle to go along withe the $ $ $ :wowo: :wowo: :wowo:

I had a guy offer to give me a couple of muscle cars for the down payment on a house.

You are right that some investors would rather use the muscle of money rather than more resourceful strategies.

If you are worried about someone trying to muscle you out of your deal or out bid you after your seller signs it you can have them sign it with a notary and have that purchase agreement recorded at the county recorders which would cloud title.

After you know all those laws, I would talk with the seller about notifying the tenant that you will only (this can be done through the contract) be purchasing the property if they evict the tenant in the time period of escrow, and the unit needs to be investigated while in escrow, or you want a reduction in price due to the lack of knowledge of that unit.I have inherited a tenant and California is way different and more strict with tenant/landlord laws than most states, but luckily the tenant left without too much muscle (figuratively speaking).

I would like to lay out a scenario, and see you guys flex your BP muscles and show me the way. 

This is just alSadr pumping his muscle and speaking out.We'd likely have had similar protests here in the US, but with the advent of the internet, people just protest via forums and blogs instead of hitting the streets.50,000 people on the street is much more impressive than 50,000 people expressing their views via the pen.
