Any other BP members come across unusual ways to increase business oppurtunites from the purchase of Real Estate ?

Three years is not unusual.

Hi all,This is a long story and not sure if this is the right place to ask about my situation, but here goes.About a year ago my mother passed away. My mother and step-father were both on a fixed income and barely mak...

Also realize that it's not unusual for altisource to choose to let properties sit for a long loooonnng time not accepting the real value of a property. 

It is not unusual to see a property move at 67% in really bad shape.My question to others that are willing to share is this:Do you see benefits with no contingency offers?

@Larry Fried - I thought it was unusual as well. 

That may be heresy in today's market but I still stick by it.Trying to think of other ideas, I'm not sure if this is an on-market property or not, but especially if it's not, there could be the possibility of paying the seller for an option to buy the property at a certain price within the next year, and letting the seller continue owning it through the winter, then you exercise your option and purchase it in the spring once the ground has thawed out.That's a much easier concept to pitch to the owner if they don't have a real estate agent who's basically just motivated to sell it and get their commission ASAP, but if they've had a few deals fall through because of the failed septic then even if there's an agent, maybe they'd be open to it.Alternatively, and maybe simpler than an option, would be just putting down a decent-sized earnest money deposit and having a closing date in the spring - basically an unusually long period for the closing.

Depending on the condition of your property it's not unusual to acquire a property that has no utilities turned on until you're far enough into the remodel that they can be.

Keep in mind also, differences between surveyor's opinions as to boundary line locations are not unusual.
