As a wholesaler always remember that all the other party is concerned about is WIIFM (what's in it for me?).

Welcome Jason, I had read some creative real estate investing books in the 1980s I remember people telling me you can't do that, even if those kinds of deals do happen they are so rare you will never find one.

Ideally I sell the house, albeit at a loss, and start over fresh in my hometown.

I only make 9.65 and hour.I remembered you don't make a ton of money, but you need to decide (as others have posted) what the best use is.

This was a key detail that the agent should have updated immediately Just remember for future reference to get everything in writing.

What are some ideal terms for a deal?

Troy Baughman Yes, ideally you would get the tenant to sign a lease with you (assuming you want to keep them).

Then I remember the hill billy wanted that info.

Paying off your balance every month is responsible practice and good for your credit score, but it makes you a less-than-ideal customer from the standpoint of the credit card company.

Gon't exagerate.I remember one guy that came to me with a decent plan, decent numbers, sufficient assets and a decent product, but he didn't get a dime from me.....why?
