@Micah CopelandHi Micah, Im searching online by selecting my min and max price range along with #of of beds, baths with basement etc.

I have recently found a great property to put under contract (excellent), the owner is very motivated in getting the property off her hands, she has a buyer in mind who wants the property(her sister)  and even agreed to lower the offer I originally gave her (sounds like an easy sale right).

The house you select doesn't need to be perfect, but try to buy one that only has deferred maintenance issues like paint, roofing and maybe a new HVAC system.  

I write many articles on the importance of selecting the right lender for  you and tips on how to research them.Thank you and good luck!
