Does it harm your credit if you do more then one loan pre approval at the same time?

Should we ask potential buyes if they are pre qualified with a bank and show us that they are?

Like you would in another state that has income tax.. and if you pay income tax in another state its a dollar for dollar credit against your CA income tax.Give me prop 13 and people that bought pre 1mid 80's run up and you have the best investments in most of the US...

In my years of selling, I’ve always believed that selling is not selling – it’s providing multiple options with a pre-determined outcome.

I certainly did not, and neither did the mortgage lender who  pre-qualified me.After closing on the HELOC  this week, I was reading through the docs last night and stumbled upon the Occupancy clause :"Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control"So I'm not sure what to do.  

Of course, I know up front from “pre-qualifying” him over the phone earlier what the solution is, but rather than me telling him the solution, I allow HIM to choose it himself.

Lots of pre 80's property which means aluminum wiring, galvanized pipe, and poor insulation.  

What about if it is a Pre-foreclosure?

But hey, I want to do a little more than break even and get one under my belt.I'm also trying to talk to a different seller who lives in a pre-1985 2/1, owes about $700 in taxes (no lien), and is asking $4000.  

hey blake. sounds like you are on a roll. you got lots of great advice here. thats what BP is all about. keep up that motivation, it is key in this business. the money will start rolling in, however, your timetable may be a little enthusiastic, but stick with it. the time will come when you can quit that job and follow the dream.
