After searching, locating and researching a piece of retirement property, we are considering an offer to the seller's agent (who knows very little about what he is selling).As the buyer's agent is typically compensated by the seller, is it normal to ask for a reduction similar to the 3% that the buyer would pay to the non-existent agent?  

What contingencies exist in case you for some reason cannot finish the project? 

I didn't know it at the time but it would open up doors I didn't even know existed.

Typically when you “win an auction and had to place EM” it is an REO, and typically the selling bank pays off any existing liens.

Thank you Preapproval letters exist to market you as a serious buyer to sellers and real estate agents.

I want to purchase a tri-plex, in upstate New York using an FHA loan. The property currently has 3 tenants occupying the units. With the loan being contingent on the property being my primary residence, how would you ...

We have done BRRRRs on new and existing properties.

@Joe S. 100% at 5% does not exist.

We choose this particular one because the neighborhood is perfectly set up for it & already had existing STR's in it, the layout & size were ideal & the private pool is not just out your living room door but is actually private as no one is behind us & the sides are walled off which we thought the additional privacy would make it more attractive.

You may be surprised to uncover options you may never have known existed.
