Hopefully one day I can be successful enough to mentor those in my shoes now.

I'm not tied to my timeline nor my expectations.

Because China wants to maintain if not continue the mercantilist principle of economics - more export more for the better on all other nations that she has close economic ties with.

I would think, though I'm not in their shoes, that a flipper would be just as happy if i brought them an MLS deal as if it was not from the MLS as long as there is a significant discount over the list price and there is a reasonable amount of profit to be made.

You ever see a railroad tie?

Now the problem is, I don't know how to "tie up" the property.

The main advantage over using a compuer is that you do not tie up a line sending or receiving a fax.

Has anyone ever tied up a property with a purchase contract and a short time period (7-21 days), as long as the seller will allow, and then auctioned the house (with a reserve) via the internet or locally?

I thought the title company tied up the loose ends with the buyer.

True, but for higher value properties, I don;t want to tie up Hundreds of thousands for 14 or 21 or 30 days, so a large EMD is more than sufficient.
