I require a Pre-Approvial letter from the bank & a Proof of Funds for the down payment to be submitted with any offer, just to kick the lookie-loos down the street. 

An actual island might be tricky but you could go to the big box store and get a 39" high wall cabinet (wall cabinets are 12"" deep whereas base cabinets are usually 24" deep and 30" tall) and pop on a pre-cut countertop to create an overhang for some stools.  

If exempt from TILA and DF, costs of note preparation can be negotiated, if not, costs must be figured into the loan cost disclosures and APR. 

Hi, I'm trying to find a pre notice of default leads for pre foreclosure properties in fairfax county, virginia. 

If you don't deliver the goods at a pre-agreed deadline (e.g., 90 days), you lose that $1,000 "deposit".

I was running numbers and trying to get an idea about APR on a 15 year loan with 30% down.

I came across many great deals but lost them due to the lack of a pre approval letter and secured funding for my flip.

@Zarah Bucoy If you're buying probate property from a PR it most likely will be a standard sale so you can use any contract you want.

When I market to investors, I let them know they have a "Pre-Inspection/Pre-Offer" option which is a full inspection without a written report.

A real estate agent contacted me about a pre-foreclosure property where I had placed a yellow letter in the door.
