Show friendliness so that you're approachable, but stand firm by the laws and the lease.Sometimes, the threat is empty and they won't follow through.

Use caution in this approach.. like all of these guru tactics they sound great but can be disasters in practice.

Something my ******* mortgage company could have let me know a month ago when I submitted all the gift letters and bank statements, etc.Anyway - before I get too far gone here, this is my question:Closing should have been on Tuesday - seller is accommodating and is ok with me working on securing funds for mortgage.Is it too late to approach them about owner financing?

Sadly, I never really took the time to learn from her, so I've started this process with no expertise.Honestly, I've been lurking on forums, reading blog posts/books, and grilling coworkers with portfolios, trying to piece together something approaching a business plan for a few months now.

All of the buyers I found myself till the last number of years.A few years ago an realtor brought in a buyer and when I came to closing the buyer didn’t speak English or have a SSN.

I agree with the 1031 exchange approach if you are wanting to stay in real estate.Regarding the pending crash...I am not sure if there will be a crash but I am expecting a slow down if rates rise 2-3 times this year and then 3 more times in 2019. 

We are already into the attorney for $7.5K which has brought us to the auction notice. 

Now buy and holders (if it approaches the 1% rule) and owner-occs could be interested. 

We offered 228k with 6% seller concessions which brought the offer down to 215k. 

That means either you've brought significant cash as down payment, or you have a property that you bought at a crazy good price.
