I'm an Illinois realtor but unfortunately don't live or work near the city so wouldn't be able to assist you directly, but I do have a colleague in the area that I believe would be able to help you greatly.

We do allot of creative structures so feel free to call me directly and I am more than happy to brainstorm this out with you.  

We do alot of marketing here at my company, and although we do Direct Mail, I would say it could use some work. 

This will open the door for you to negotiate with the seller in a more direct sense but the agent still have the duty to disclose.

Just want to know what's more effective as far as using direct mail, or handwritten letters.

I spoke to them today and was told their REO department was shut down and they don't know who to direct me to regarding their REO's on res.net.  

I have found crowdfunding to be a far more effective (and passive) alternative to direct RE investing for me in the US, and am migrating my US holdings in that direction. 

Can I put a clause in that I would make payments directly to the bank?  

Any direction for this would be greatly appreciated!

That price included pumping, chemically treating, and ultimately collapsing the septic tank, directional boring 3/4 of the way around the house (.39 acre lot), two cleanouts installed, and he even removed a damaged cast iron stack pipe which had cracked in my foundation and updated it to PVC at no charge.I gave the overpriced $4,000 water equipment to a friend who had suffered from hard water and haven't had an issue with my new city water/sewer setup yet.Contact me if you'd like to chat further.
