Another win for you.

You need to have cash, or a real relationship with a real 'private' (not hard) money lender who you've pitched the deal to before the auction, and who will be ready to write a check the day of the auction if you win the bid, as the entire amount is due that day. 

A few months back, I wrote about my success with taking a tenant to small claims court and winning a judgment of about $6,000. 

I want to make this a win-win situation for both of us.

I want this guy locked up more than I want my beloved Chicago Bears to win every Sunday and that is saying a lot...Just ask my wife.

Hood as win-win based on its size, but may revert back to the original plan of getting into a college area between semesters (Rice or A&M).Thanks Bryan!

With the right interest rate, term and LTV, its a win for both parties.If the lender doesn't want to be on the hook, the loan could have either a balloon payment or a short term.

This is a win-win situation because I don't have to worry about vacancy for a long time.

They just might appreciate you proposing a solution... could be a win-win?

I also tell them how rough the road may get, but greed usually wins them over and they do that themselves.
