I understand that the seller will have to pay the lender out of the proceeds, but I'm wondering if there are any ways that a better deal for both parties can be arranged.Any suggestions ?? 

Just have to pose as a good business decision for both parties.

For sure the toughest part is actually jumping on a deal that you know is a deal.

, more like leery of anyone saying they will sign a contract with NO DEPOSIT or a measly $1000 and then have another party actually buy the property.

He invited me out to a party that night and we ended up hanging out for most of the weekend.

No matter how good a Realtor is, they cannot force the other party into terms. 

Anyone can create a contract for a transaction in which they're a party, but my understanding is that a non-lawyer writing contracts for others constitutes the unauthorized practice of law.

Shuman  as invested a ton into the city, really nice guy, hopefully they find the parties responsible for the fire.

How can we structure the deal in a way that we can do the repairs ourselves without the risk of either party losing out in case the deal falls through?

Hi - I'm looking for some advice on resolving a SDIRA issue:My Self Directed IRA made a unsecured loan to an individual (not a disqualified party).The borrower is unable to repay the loan according to the terms of the note.
