I have seen investors try to use this as a marketing tactic to attract tenants quickly, but it NEVER works out as planned.Tenants will start filling up makeshift swimming pools, open a part-time car wash on the lawn, and allow friends and family come over to do laundry!!

These in reality are rare, they are not something for some newbie or even a 5 year operator to try to do as their main business in most markets, you will waste your time and starve trying to go elephant hunting.Getting stuck or even trying to start in one strategy is a big mistake, start with the basics, get a good foundation of conventional transactions, how retail works, from there you can begin to modify aspects of a situation to employ tactics that can make a deal.

Negotiation tactics, experiences, stories, ideas might be cool.

I wouldn't be so focused on a specific tactic.

No silly negotiating techniques; no imaginary partners; no high pressure tactics; no tricks or gimmicks - just a little honesty and integrity.Good Luck,Mike

But if you find the deal elsewhere they, in my opinion, don't.Now, there are a lot of legal tactics wholesalers use to avoid being an unlicensed broker.

– So is dealing crack but that doesn’t make it right.Most people don’t cold call because it isn’t easy – No, they don’t do it because it is a cheap tactic to make money.Of course dot your Is and cross your Ts regarding the DNC list/laws, but outside that tell them to kiss-it.

hellothanks for the replys and help from everyone that posted, but i think you's guys probably mis-understood why i would need this info.first - not all deals with little or no equity are short sale frinendly, another words the homeowner first has to be behind in payments (normally 3 or more) which not all distressed homeowners fall in this category, second if they filed bankruptcy (which most of them have) most banks won't deal until its out of bankruptcy and etc, and others things like if the homeowner had PMI, or if they can still afford to make the payments and etcnow i'm interested in wholesaling (which i know is just and exit strategy), working with motivated sellers that actually have equity in their houses all ready. so thats why it benefits me to know how much equity they have and etc.exp: if they have a property that the ARV is $200,000 and it needs $10,000 in repairs, and i find out they owe $170,000, then i'll automatically know they won't sell to me at $120,000 which is were i want to purchase at to make a quick $10,000 or more assignment fee profitnow short sales are great i'm actually working on a couple, but their not as easy as the guru's make them out to be, some of the loss mit reps act like your taking something from them personally, which i thought they'll be so die hard to get these deals off their desk-------------plus its very time consuming so thats why i'm gonna look at short sales as a second tactic, and gonna focus working with people that are motivated and already have equity, and sometimes its not because the homeowner has lived in the property for like ever, it could still be a good deal for me because of what that properties ARV might be (because i know maybe 7 out 10 people in distress actually have little or no equity)so i hope all of this help you's guys to understand why knowing what the homeowner owes will benefit me, it'll help me put together my offers, or feel good submitting the ones i know they still walk away with something, one thing i do know for sure and thats 9 out 10 or 10 out 10 distressed homeowners will not come out of pocket at the closing just to sell you their house

Your liability exposure lasts forever.There are some "tricks" or "tactics" if the prior TI company provided coverage and they are providing the next policy, knowing no issue popped up during your hold, on established lot descriptions say over 50 years where title claims would be a lower risk, you have an insured closing letter on settlement and you have funds to play ball.
