There is also something about never having to play the game with the banks that really makes me happy after these last 10 years of feeling like a number whenever I talk to them.

Hello I am Real Estate wholesaler in Tulsa etc, Once I close the deal with seller on the contract what do I do next do I have to hire an attorney to open an escrow on that property so I can selle to investor  Please play me to this steps?

Ask other investors and other brokers that play big in the area and see what their advice is and what other assets comparable are trading at.

The tenant is likely playing hardball hoping that you will break.

Hi all,Wondering who else has had a chance to play around with the new versions of the calculators.

Don't let her play you. 

I have been saving up and building my credit with hopes of making purchases after prices begin bottom according to my own thesis on what I expect to play out in the global economy over the next several years.While I cannot speak on behalf of all RE markets far and wide, I think this thesis represents many major cities where Foreign RE was invested in heavily (Think LA, Seattle, Bay Area, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, London, and many many cities in Europe).

When I spoke to them about the situation I told the tenant this was unacceptable and disgusting... now she says I am a different culture from her and the way I speak to her is not "ok" and she made it sound like I was being  prejudice when I mention all the things that are wrong with the property......I do like them , they are a nice family just might be a bit clueless or just playing dumb, have ad a leaking faucet for years and never mentioned it... etc etc.. 

But, your lower mortgage doesn't give you cash today to actually fix the issue.Willingness to walk away is simply a negotiation tactic/confidence play. 

So, we shall see how it all plays out.
