I'd leave the floor bare before I'd put those down.

Plus, that rush you feel in the depths of your belly when you knock on a stranger's door to talk to them about their woes is better than jumping out of an airplane.If you go the door knocking route, be aware that most people will not be home, so leaving a bulky package with a handwritten note also got me a decent response.

Many of these posts suggested leaving the wife, hiding it from her, lying, or telling her to basically shut the f up.

By my calculations, if you financed about $75K at 30 yr/6%, your payment would be about $450, leaving you about $100/month.

I was thinking $25,000 but that doesn't leave me a whole bunch of room to negotiate.

You'll not only let them out of their lease, you'll pay them to leave!!!

On deals where you plan to rent, lease option, seller finance, or hold for any amount of time, which do you guys normally do? Obviously both have their advantages...but what strategy do you prefer?

But DOM is still less than 3 mos.We need to put together a CA pool, because we are still having MORE people coming into the state, then people who are leaving, so you know housing prices WILL go back up.
