If I win, we record a security deed and proceed as normal.  

Win-win, right?!

The best thing is to just actively get involved and learn from the mistakes and winning techniques of other investors. 

So, need to discuss it with the agent first, win them over.

My boyfreind and I are going on Saturday, we are supposed to get a free mp3 player, a cd with "50 ways to find your next flip" (I know I've seen at least that many times on BP!! 

I used my property manager as my agent which ended up good since he was already familiar with property rules etc but honestly I did not have much choice , his property management had clause that if I was planning to sell condo , I will give him try for atleast 4 months and he did good in selling condo in 3 months (win-win situation) ;).

An alternative is to get them to agree to mediation / arbitration but it sounds like she just doesn't want to sell anymore.The language in the paragraph you copied basically makes repair of any 'violations' a condition of the sale and contemplates three options; 1) The seller repairs violations2) The contract is canceled with refund of deposit and specific expenses3) Contract if fulfilled with a $500 abatement in price for non-repaired violations (I assume you sent the requisite notice for this option)From what little I know, specific performance is difficult to win.

If you win the lottery, do you want the cash now or the payout?  

I know a fair amount of JV players in California and some who would consider Colorado if the deal was enticing enough.  

It may be especially good if they're making bids around the price point you're looking to sell, and didn't actually win anything that day because it means they have unused certified checks :)You can also look at county records (mine can be done online, maybe yours also) and look for deeds on properties that are being sold over to an LLC.
