Hi @carlos Thanks for your recommendation and I made an appointment for an interview with Samson Properties!

I went over there a few years back and was able to get appointments with folks within days of my arrival very business oriented area and willing to listen.. unlike US were it would be near impossible to make the same contacts as quickly.

I did not pay, as I thought the free is more than enough.I do have to say that there is probably a 50% flake factor once you set the appointment, and the potential tenant does not show up.

So lets say you've successfully called a landlord and talked about purchasing a home you found on craigslist and you've ran your numbers/analyzed the deal and know you want to purchase it. would you then try to schedule an appointment for your inspector to go in?

If you do not have a property picked out, the agent will want a contract because they will be spending significant time and effort helping you locate, setting up appointments to view, and touring the properties with you.

I have an appointment with my bank today.

I bet you are slaughtering part time agents on listing appointments with this comment Nathan.

While doing some due diligence on a Baltimore City property I'm looking to purchase I found that the local court has appointed a Receiver to sell the property. 

Overall after $7500-10k in fix-up expenses I expect that I'll be able to cashflow on the property while living there for free (PITI = $1400/mo, projected avg monthly income w/ vacancy = $2,100).The plan is to continue fixing it up for the next 1-2 years then rent it out in full (either still by the room appointing a roommate as a PM or just rent the whole house).

It means the administrator of the Estate of the decedent hasn’t been appointed yet and given authority to liquidate the decedent’s assets.They are waiting for their court date and letters of administration to be issued.You can do your due diligence and submit offers to the agent handling the listing but,it won’t be officially approved until after the administrator is authorized to sign them.
