You are not talking to the right landlords/owners.You want one that is who is motivated.

Dan,You are assuming a lot of things about the seller's motivation and being rather negative in how you present the points.I agree that getting it under contract is important.

If you have something to sell (product or service) and that is one reason that you are here then keep the casual comments to a minimum while remaining professional at all times.

Asking price 100KRenting 900/mo through 6/2008Highly motivated seller due to pending divorce.

Would it be worth it to just wait in radio silence for the remaining 22 days and try to catch him on the technicality when he doesn't provide written notice?

Would that remain in place and be paid out of the sales proceeds?

If there are fewer lenders then it means investors will have to step up their game.Third is the idea of seller financing and motivated sellers.

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 figure those are probably some of the more motivated sellers since time has nearly ran out for those situations, though I also realize this probably isn't the right forum for that (being the REO as opposed to pre-foreclosures above).

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.
