Win Win!

Without any proof they will win in court and it could cost you more than the deposit.

The Title companies are also the escrow companies and its all the national players..

House-hacking is absolutely correct, except that I am married, and have had tremendous difficulty selling that to the lady.For now, we're starting to do flips on the SFR side, and I partition some of the winnings into the buy-and-hold portfolio.

Rarely happens but in case I know my schedule is awful I'll plan ahead to do this. realtors use lock boxes so their is a way to track and approve someone to view a place with ID verification.I've lost no time so it's a win.

I am trying to understand what exactly the process looks like after the buyer wins and bid and what some of the pitfalls are...

If someone else wins bid, then ask if you can put in a backup offer so you can be next in line before it hits market again.

This creates a WIN-WIN Situation and gives the Realtor incentive, to work harder on your behalf.

Would the person with the 400 credit score potentially win a judgment against me because I accepted the higher (but not fully qualifying) score if the 400 applied first?
