I don't want her to lose the escrow deposit I will be making with my offer simply because she can't get financing and the agreement is clearly not contingent.Anyone on here have experience with this type of situation?

@Ahmad Hijazi  prey is a little strong... but there is no question that CA investors are market makers all through out the mid west and turn key venues. with out them the real estate would not be worth even whats its worth today it would only sell for what a local investor is willing to risk on cash flow basissee my famous thread " 2% rule kills Values"  8 pages of thoughts from most of the top players on BP

Thank you for your time to whoever assists as this is my first wholesale deal and I'm excited about finding it so quickly and don't want to lose it if I don't have to (I found it while building my buyers list, he reached out to me.)Please excuse the long winded post, I wanted to be complete so I can get the best possible assistance.

Investors can simply pay the bank judgement, and cut a deal for the owner to walk with some money - now that they're going to lose the house and equity at auction, in addition to getting foreclosed.So again - this does not explain - why has this house landed in Auction - when the judgement amount is way less than the market price.

My concern was twofold: First, you lose the ability to do the final walk through, because you have 60 days of not knowing what they're doing to your place.

And couldn't you take out the equity in your house and make that investment anyway without losing the asset?

The biggest is that if you do not make the payments on the HELOC you will lose your home to foreclosure.

We lose lots of deals to the hedge fund companies.

The problem I have is that any variation of the word 'invest' makes my wife think that a coin flip will lose us our entire life savings.

From your spreadsheet it looks like you're losing money every month.
