With all cash, it should be straight forward.

Just wait when you add in jealous other investors angry that they haven't had the success you have had, so they start either copying you, mud slinging, or straight out lying about you.

Think science, technology, engineering or mathematics.If they want to go to college just to waste time on a degree that is not going to land you a career and instead drink beer then forget it.If they would rather choose a career path that doesn't require a degree and would rather get a job or trade apprenticeship straight out of high school that's cool too.

Thanks for setting me straight on that guys, now its time to do this deal!

When I asked him questions about the conditions of his property, he wouldn't give me a straight response and just kept pressing that he'd only sell for $400,000 when he claimed his house was appraised for $350,000.My thoughts: seeing that the house looks crappy, it's about 30 years old, original cabinets, kitchen, bathroom, fixtures, and trying to sell for 15% above market when a fully remodeled comparable home on his street sold last month for even less than his 'appraised' value, why would I buy this?

Do you market to probate leads as well & if so, which method do deem more effective in your experience, the "Condolences" format of this letter or the straight forward "I want to $buy$ your House at..."?

.$750 or whatever..but many offer the agent what they would typically get for a straight lease..which is half of one months payment.

It seems like it could be a very good cash flow opportunity.To bullet point the specs of the property to make it easier to follow-$130k asking price-Seller financing offered-2008 square ft-3 1 bed/1bath units-Taxes $2377 per year (includes trash pick up)- Currently rents for total o$f 2125 - Tenant pays all utilities except water/sewer-oil heat-I need to find out what type of lease he has in place with current tenants and find out a bit about them and how long they have been there.I need to research the seller financing aspects to find out if there are closing costs involved (I am not sure exactly how that works), actual interest rate straight from the sellers mouth, not just the realtor.

To clarify, there is no asking of cash straight away, but the offer is to carry some of the finance costs for a return on my money, while also getting experience.

However that statment was made very tounge in cheek, I dont see any piece of paper keeping anyone on the straight and narrow.
