As a medic, I had zero downtime since the pandemic started 9 months prior, so I was finally getting to rest… well getting time off anyway.Q-Town was a prison.

Only to have the seller come back with a requested for best and final with due dilligence money of 2k.

I'm getting a finalized bid from my contractor this week and I'm considering a couple avenues to reduce the total cost.Thanks again Brenden.

there are large old paper subdivisions in CA like this that were platted in the 20s and never developed its taken 100 years but they are finally starting to bring that land back into open space type designations  parks etc..

I think im finally ready to jump in.   

In competitive situations when you have multiple people interested, does a best and final approach work, so the tenants can offer incremental rent or term etc?

Reviewed final disclosure doc for mortgage.

@JD Martin It took a while but I finally think I have him convinced that if he does buy a car it should be a used one.

Is it feasible to just get something (brief) in writing until the lawyers do the final contract?
