Also check the type of sale, most sales do not have to accept the highest price unless they want to.

If so, this property will not be able to be sold until the lis pendens is cleared (unless the buyer accepts the liability).

@Joe WardWelcome to the vibrant BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.Your time on this social media site will be well spent.You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.The bottom line is that you must take action to start.

Recently we had an auction on a property that was found on Craigslist, it was a commercial property listed by the owner for sale, she wanted $750,000, my son and associate negotiated an offer of $250,00 subject to an auction sale, seller accepted the deal. 

Ok, so I have a buyer for the land contract, now I'm a wholesaler and I am used to putting properties "under contact" which prevents the seller from accepting any other offers and makes them obligated to sell to me and to me only.

I would have to liquidate some assets but that would be acceptable to me as I would buy a 3-4 bedroom and rent out the extra rooms. 

Probably going to meet-ups or leveraging radically powerful social skills will land you an equally adventurous, but inversely experienced investor/mentor.

If she accepts your offer will be pleasantly surprised.

All messages will be accepted and I can't wait to talk to you.

Keep following up with him, reality may eventually settle in and he'll accept a price that will work for both of you.
