Generally these more seasoned sellers are alert for somebody trying to be sneaky about locking a property up under contract and then selling the contract off before closing, aka "wholesalers".

I used a company in L.A. called Load, Lock & Roll.

First, you turn caps lock off. 

I know that if I lock up a property under LOI, I can send my GC with my General Inspection team and the GC will get me that info.

I have a few specific questions as well:1) Should I install keypad locks on my rental units' doors so that I don't have to rely on the tenant to let in the maintenance guy?

These are mobile people with no children to lock them to a location.

Today, you can buy your home and Lock what you paid for it!

In fact in the U.S. it usually creeps up just above it - keeping us locked into the financial matrix (which is where we appear to be doing well financially but in reality we are not; but neither is anyone else around us so we think we are doing just fine).

I eventually told him my #1 concern was taxes, and his ears perked up almost instantly. he said one comment to me that changed my life and set me down this rabbit hole of REI.

@Bruce Woodruff @Jesus Roman Came very close today to locking in my first property but took you guys advise to be patient seeing that the numbers were very tight due to the funding company picking comps in the area that were very low.
