Virtually no listing contract contains an out for a seller for "contingencies."

Given the fact that the owners home is in dangerous peril of foreclosure, how do you work with the owner/agent to begin discussions about strategies like "subject to" etc.It seems that they would be fairly uninterested in a sales strategy that virtually excludes them from any profit.

I will be watching this thread, as I am virtually in the same boat as you.

Not saying there is not an art to it, just too much research for me to stay excited...LOLI suggest you aim high, not leverage your accounting but allow your accounting knowledge to leverage a higher calling, most CEOs of the big ones come from finance and accounting.

My military carreer places me in a unique situation where I have no choice but to fully embrace virtual real estate investing!

Try going on to Sherwin Williams and do a virtual paint job.

There is virtually no protections for the seller unless risks are addressed by contract, such as the buyer being unwilling or unable to perform.

This part seems daunting...because I have been accussed (not on this forum) as coming across as passive aggressive...and although I feel we all have a ying and yang quality to us...I don't want to jeopardize my chance to clearly and artfully express my case.

Look up a local Virtual Assistant, they can provide you with support at those times when you need a hand.

Essentially you have hundreds of virtual mentors here.
