Purchase price: $32,000 Sale price: $45,000This transaction was quick and clean seller was an out of town investor and wanted to liquidate this 3bd 2ba fixer upper we contracted this property and purchase it for $31,000 and immediately put it on market and sold for $45,000 small profit over $12,000 less than 30 daysWhat made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

How would you respond to a counter offer where the seller wants to cover roofing defects with liquid asphalt?  

The way I look at it is, 100k is plenty to do a deal and if I liquidate afterward and make 20k net, that's ok. 

Credit score and liquidity are the other important factors that go into this.

It looks like my best bet is to liquidate the account to use the money but would like a confirmation before doing that.

You want liquid funds on hand for deals just like @Scott E. mentioned.

I don't feel comfortable liquidating investments in current market but it's best solution, I will hear it out. 

I never mentioned liquidating any assets and putting your money into the market, etc. 

Plus, we're interested in staying somewhat liquid with the potential of volatility ahead.

I hear more experienced business people agreeing that the next several of months will be good time to be liquid and I'm fighting with myself about whether I should wait (for something to happen?)
