Originally posted by Jason Hanson : 3. craigslist Jason, where on craiglist - To advertise to sellers are you suggesting placing some sort of "I buy houses" ad under "Housing Wanted" ?

If a seller has it listed with an agent, it unlikely they're motivated to the extent you want to get a good deal.

Bullseye always make sure you get a large non refundable deposit this way it motivates the buyer to stick with the deal.

This is the sort of thing that makes me nervous about this sort of deal.

So here's an example:I come across a motivated seller.

It was sort of a joke.

If you want, I can sell you some software to help motivate you to buy more courses that could potentially help motivate you to consider buying real estate.

Now the building was foreclosed on by the bank that loaned the developer money and now he is gone and can not be found.What they do is use your money to either start the project or SCAM you by coming up with all sorts of stories that why the project is not complete.

The new lender did some sort of review on the new appraisal, and wanted info about what rehab had been performed.

So he's got not much to lose and not much motivation for coming down in asking price.
