I have found that 6-8 weeks are not unusual turnaround time.

I'll bend over backwards for a good Tenant but once one Lies, Steals or Cheats me, I use every resource to get them out ASAP.

Nobody told me at the time how unusual that was, or gave me Jerry's advice of "it won't always be that easy."

Or, at the post office take a look at their first class stamps and there's always something unusual in there that you've never seen.

Michael, you sound like me talking, don't get on the wagon until you have the horses hitched up.Now, if there is some unusual situation where a property is to be acquired and sold within 90 days, knowing there is no problem with a sale you might use a Sub-2 arrangement to facilitate the deal.The seller needs to understand these deals, giving the seller some disclosure saying they are going to be responsible for the loan and they will die, isn't really having them understand all the risks involved.As Michael said, don't get involved unless you can take out the underlying debt

Hand address your letters, add a distinctive mark in the return address, use a different color pen or use an unusual font if printing labels.

I was hooked.Too many people think of sales as people who over-power or bend the truth.

Quite an unusual situation I must admit!

I never personally took it to the level that someone like Michael Quarles has, but I don't think no calls on 300 letters is unusual at all.

All real estate markets may be local (not unlike politics) but at present there are so many unusual factors that would appear to create one big U.S. market, such as the institutional buyers making cash offers.
