I would envision the initial deal that you originally intended to close on.Then factor in the other issues: seller's lack of ability to sell without the old liens and his need to accelerate the sale due to medical issues.You can buy now but must engineer a way to reverse risk and put back on to seller.

Hi Guys,I am currently under contract with a medical office space in Houston.

I joined BP about 18 months ago while medically recovering and I still have not made my niche selection.  

In Texas, you can give a gift of merchandise up to $50 in value but cannot give cash, gift cards, rent bonuses or discounts. 

I don't really care what you make "gross" when you pay out half of that in 401K, medical benefits, alimony, child support, blah blah blah.

This property is on a street with 6 other doctors , medical imaging building , and a dentist office.

For 10k sf we have a 15 year solid offer from a publicly traded medical company.

Due to market in our area we have had a shift to medical office buildings that tired and wore out.

I know that many on these forums advise not to get too bogged down with info and that since nobody will ever know all the information available, that it is important to make your first move.I'm recently medically retired, but still actually pretty young and am looking to get involved in RE investing. 

As an investor - those are not your prospects - they cannot "buy" what you are selling.There are 3 MOTIVATORS leading someone to sell to an investor at a discount:1) SPEED - they are in a hurry, cannot wait to sell via retail, because they need...2) CASH - for some reason, perhaps medical, business related, who knows, plus3) DISTRESSED PROPERTY - they either don't want to make the repairs or simply have no money to make them, so their house is unlikely to pass an FHA inspection, so people cannot buy it with an FHA or conventional home loan (hence, the need to sell to a cash buyer).As an investor, you want to reach out to people with the message that you can deliver FAST CASH and there is NO NEED TO MAKE REPAIRS, you buy "as-is".
