While it is great to visit family, we are ready for a place to call our own.  

For example, would you pay $100 for a half consumed bottle of water?

If not, I'm not sure you have any legal standing as you have not given any "consideration" to execute the contract you signed.I would make sure that your binder contract has an approximate move-in date, or time period after which either party can walk away if the unit is not ready.  

Now that I own my family home in the Bay Area with some built in equity, I’m ready to leverage that equity and my savings to get into the game.

I love it since my VA's help out a lot on the time consuming tasks.Very scale-able when you're primarily focusing on acquisitions.

Go ahead and put in that low ball offer, you never know what the seller is ready to accept.

You’re going to need to get your ducks in a row, be preapproved, and be ready to submit an offer the day of list on a good deal.

Ive been mowing my lawn on a Sunday afternoon and had to be ready to go with in a half hour and leave it half finished.

The house is updated and ready to go but every time they land a buyer on the house , they jump when told we need to open it up for repairs.

You're getting ready to lay out $35,000 so the deal has to work for you.
