They sign the contract, hoping to find a buyer willing to take it on.Instead, go in with a maximum offer in mind from the start.

They want to move but can't. 

Happy to have a further conversation if I can be of any help to you in your plans and options.

Lender related: the house I live in was not lendable because it was missing a stove and had open shelving in the entire kitchen.  

They signed the lease in March 2024.The first time they were late it was a couple of days past the 1st but within the 5 day grace period……Ok.The second time, they notified me on the 5th that they wouldn’t be able to pay until the 12th.  

One metric they provide is new construction sales, which I can use to calculate % of total sales and see whether that value is trending up or down.My question is, in general is a market more or less desirable if there are a lot of new builds hitting the area? 

In my opinion, I would just plan to reduce your living expenses so you can save up more for your next deal, it doesn't necessarily have to cash flow for it to be a good deal

No, just inform them you are the new owner (they may want proof) and provide them with the address to send payments. 

When i clock that it takes me to a new page, asks me to log in or pay $99 for a packet.
