You also might have a harder time motivating agents to bring you deals if they have to split a commission with you compared to taking it to someone other investor where the listing agent keeps both sides.2.

I refuse to give up one way or the other, and from the reading I've been doing I would surely think that with those sort of offers I should be able to make a deal happen.

Hello everyone, I’m very interested in getting into the real estate investing field, so all I’ve been doing lately is acquiring some basic creative purchasing and financing tactics I could use to help out motivated sellers and myself, it’s a true win/win.So my questions are:1- I know this question depends on the seller’s needs and my financial ability, but under what perfect conditions should I try to utilize each creative tactic (subject-to, lease options, contract of deed, straight options, and owner financing)2- What contracts I must use and have signed when utilizing each creative tactic (subject-to, lease options, contract of deeds, straight options, and owner financing)3- Once the appropriate contracts are used/signed for each tactic, what are the following steps I must take; now I’m not talking about the complete a-z steps.

since it's in a trust they do.some sort of document that proves this is a condition that must be filled before the lender will lend.as some have noted, the key to getting a deal like this done is a title company and attorney that have experience structuring these deals.

I think if you really wanted a deal finding a desperate seller of an existing unit or a developer who is even more motivated could make more sense.

However I'm not sure that you can put a mechanics lien on a property you own, and likely not unless there was some sort of contract for the work to be done.

So I realized the possibility of double closing from a motivated seller to an 'Average Joe' consumer.

Well done.It is sort of like having the training wheels taken off the bicycle.

I can't imagine he's providing the other $36K to cure the default because if he had that sort of money he wouldn't be in default, right?

Mostly to surface any title issues early so you can get them sorted before you are ready to sell the property.
