What happens if the end buyer, seller, or I, or all 3 are unable to make it to the closing table for any reason at all.

Bank said they were taking the offer off the table completely and would not negotiate any longer.

:wink: And my actuary tables are useless in this regard.

Families, especially with kids in the local school system, tend to stay put more than the single world adventurer sleeping on a futon, eating off the kitchen counter, and using a milk crate for a coffee table.

I create the entity after I shop my deal to my cash buyers and they agree to partner in the entity with me for the purpose of buying the deal I bring to the table.

I guess even for you, Will, its hard to leave extra money on the table when you just don't need to.

The broker can arrange it and get paid, but you need to "fund at the table" with certified funds......the fewer number of fingers that touch it, the lower the risk of losing any of it.

But if I do all the work and the negotiating and bring him to the closing table, I can make as much as I want as long as it comes in lower than his number.I chose number 2 because I want more money.

Anyways, either they hold "until recovery" (which might be 10 years from now) and bleed monthly or sell now and come up with the difference, they will have to bring money to the table - either in small chunks monthly or in a big chunk when (if) sold.

Of course you are leaving money on the table for using them but then again they are doing a lot of the work for you so that would be expected.
