I had also cash offers but way below asking price, it is very difficult to financing, the home has to be retrofitted, and the buyer needs to pay an engineer's report, we  had to switch lenders because the first lender even tough we got value with the FHA appraisal, lender decided it didn't worth the contracted price.

Dehumidifiers, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide, along with removing any porous materials will solve just about any mold issue.

Don't send out "deals" without any supporting materials, i.e. a CMA and simple scope of work.

I think you have a tough road here.  

I think it would be tough to find something around where I live though, so may be looking out of state (I'm in SF bay area).  

In fact, I'm putting together materials to show people how to buy properties at a deep discount at the courthouse steps.

@Carol Kohn,I have not been to any of there meetings, but it looks like they have a lot of good material and are worth checking out.

@Nate S.It def can be tough for us NYC folks with high prices.

So it tough to nogotiate when they walk or improve product quality when there is no problem.   

We are able to purchase promotional materials through vendors at a discounted cost since we give them so much business.
