As a result, we find that when we present the deals to our buyers, quite often they've aleady SEEN the doggone house in some mass email list.

And there are plenty of things I could say about why, however due to the topic presented I will say that I've given all the information I KNOW on a home in any given ad/website post/etc. and STILL get a TON of phone calls on each property.

I'm going to be presenting to a number of potential investors who will be (equity) partners with us on multifamily purchases in the Chicago area.

It just gives you something to present to the court in case you have to.In your case, I would contact the extermination company and see if they can give you a copy of the report.

But at the same time, some might not realize they want to sell their homes and earn some cash until presented with the opportunity.

I would choose a path that presents the least risk to your hard earned money, and approach it as a business transaction, looking for an acceptable ROI and what is left for them to recover will be FAR better than loosing both the cash and credit in a foreclosure.

If you have a good idea of what the costs of repairs are going to be, then you can run your numbers and if the margins are there to make a profit, you can present an offer to the seller.

I am very good at presenting comps with ARV and cost of repairs plus contingencies.

Even if it was just to present it to everyone LOL.

Current value is roughly $140k & I owe $127k presently on it.The other thing I thought of doing is just say "rent it for 2-3 years & I can offer you to buy it then if you're interested."
