I have purchased a few properties through tax sales, sometimes you can find great deals.

Possibly buying a home that is for sale by owner.  

So let's say that you've got a house for sale and you accept a buyer's offer contingent upon the sale of a property they own.Then you get a cash offer from another party wherein their Realtor tells you that in your state, if you, the seller, gets a cash offer, then Buyer 1 has 72 hours to come up with their money or lose their contingent offer.Not getting anywhere looking this up, so BP is the go-to info machine.Something sounds off about this.....?

I would first get clear on where you are heading, and how much you are expecting to clear from your sale in order to better establish a buy box for the replacement property.

Similar to signing a listing agreement before listing a house for sale with an agent, a buyer representation agreement is now required when working with a buyer's agent.2.

Typically, those sellers are not as motivated or distressed as the ones in our cash sales.

I seem to be leaning to Penn Mutual, but I see they do not have a sales department; rather, I must first find a financial representative to perform the contract. 

Based on my research so far, Atlanta seems to be one of the places with a favorable gross rental multiplier, good prospect for appreciation, and sales price around the budget I am looking for and hence I chose Atlanta.

Heat is assumed the baseline, normal.Comparable sales is what determines a residential real estate valuation.

I actually did one such sale recently.
