My goal is to get my first deal (to househack) this year, but if I'm being honest with myself, I know that it won't be before the spring as Q1 at my day job is insanely busy. 

If you guaranter good, timely work and you can accompany me looking at properties to give honest, accurate estimates on the scope of work, I'd like to contact you.

Honestly, I didn't even check my lease because I just didn't think about it.

It can and does work if you have an honest discussion about things like not having to pay realtor commissions, that they do not need to invest any time or money in repairs, that you can pay cash, that there will be no contingencies that would cause the deal to fall through and in fact you can have closing as soon as they are ready.

@Jeremy Hale  brutally honest?

The lender we have lined up is a business associate of my husbands and knows we are honest, responsible, that we have construction experience, but that we are new at this.

@Oscar Toledo Honestly Nothing with the Equity!

@Beau Blinder The good thing for me is that my next door neighbor is a fantastic lawyer and loves going after less than honest lawyers. 

The best way gives the seller $1000 non refunded fee for letting you put their home under contract and let the seller know you are not the buyer unless you are the buyer and put it in writing and be honest with the seller.Joe Gore

To be honest, Regus dominates the part time office marketplace.
