I looked at a property for sale last weekend, long term tenant paying top rent for the area.

My advice to struggling agents would be to actively seek out financing options for their clients.

This topic comes from just wanting to know what is working best for active investors, not so much the full time investor.

When you have 10 days for a loan commitment, do you count weekends or just business days?

See I had the copies of the recipts I needed a kitchen not a meeting..all weekend nothing..

I want to actively find and enter into binding contracts with sellers.Should I give every seller $10 deposit in exchange for the real estate sales contract?

For the record, this is basically an abandoned park with currently no activity.

Quality activity on BiggerPockets equals free publicity!

The FDIC prefers to move in and take over at 5pm on Fridays to give them the weekend to clear things up and so people can't panic as much-that shows just how bad things were for WaMu if they couldn't wait 24 hours.On a WaMu side note-we just got a new client at my firm in the past month, her father passed away and surprisingly left her 2.5 million. 750k of that was in WaMu CD's.

I’ll know by this weekend if I can negotiate a deal or not.
