Maybe there's something we are missing here.After account for his 8% closing cost and APR it does not pan out.

If your tile guy doesnt know how to build and waterproof the pan you are screwed.

I was able to get rid of some beat up pots and pans and they helped me clean out the frig and gladly took all the no name hotdogs, luncheon meats and something that might have passed for margaine. 

LTR we only get calls during emergencies, not asking us "how far is it from X" or "do you have a frying pan" or other basic questions. 

I understand some investors discuss their success about how giving multiple options/offers to the seller has worked in their favor, but in today's market I'm not quite sure how this would pan out.

In order to do this the paying business needs your taxpayer info, including your TIN. 

Do yourself a favor in this crazy market and also get a good agent if you haven’t done that yet or those first few leads don’t pan out.

You think that would be an easy proposition, but that won't find a mentor, that will find every Tom, Dick, and flash in the pan.

If it doesn't pan out you still have the knowledge and there's a bunch of alternative ways to still invest successfully even if you don't maintain a sales license.

I'm also new and have been looking for a property for awhile, have made offers on a few but they haven't panned out to where I'm comfortable.
