Part of the other crap in the back yard was a shopping cart - very convenient!

And please, no  (keep your head, up, work hard, be poractive crap)I need step by step .....

Maybe , if I try really, really hard, I'll be able to get the occ up to 95% and then it may be a "good deal " as per the 2-50 crap.

Supply and demand, and you are the demand - there may be a crap load of available houses, but if you are one of the only buyers, you win.

If you are going to throw the dice just once, you are equally likely to win as you are to crap out.

Possible reasons:investor told them that others will come and scared the crap out of them so they speak to noone else.they have a friend, family or someone in the business and possible will try to buy the house as a short sale so they can continue to live there.

Yeah you are using the cheap crap contracts.You need quality contracts that spell everything out.If you don't do that you are left with the messes you are getting into now.Items that are vague in a contract or are not mentioned are generally held to be unenforceable in a court of law.The seller is just pushing you to see if you really have the funds to close or are a wannabe buyer.It's doubtful they will chase you but you never know.If you have zero money why don't you shadow a well know wholesaler and offer to work for them for free in exchange for training and learning the ropes??

I might make a call or two in your situation, just because I hate people that try to pull crap over on me.

If you all would ONLY reply to this message with "I tried, and I didn't get crap", the community would really know the worth of these methods.

But here's the thing: it takes a crap-ton of time and energy to do it, and I only have so much of each.
