My biggest issue is that ANYTHING can happen in 6 mos and then what if they cannot buy the house, and we are back in the same situation as before, with more possible repairs.On the opposition, it is taking the books off the books for now with the possibility of selling the house at list price and make decent money on it even with all of the problems we had.Any tips, ideas, suggestions for this situation?

What sucks is that I live in the People's Republic of Illinois and we can't carry and conceal.Now, having said that, when I have gone into more "challenged" neighborhoods, I have brought a "deterrent" with me.

Russell - I also wanted to thank you for not freaking out when challenged here on the site.I wonder if you could tell people who have no interest in joining another mailing list (even if free) what the deal is with your site/program?

I would think the biggest thing you may have to worry about is pirates which really they are not really a problem in the Caribbean (unless you are Jack Sparrow :P ).

Sounds like your biggest challnge here is to find another seller, quick, so you can help your $10K tenant buyer before he finds something else.

I can post in others (obviously, since I'm responding to this).BTW, not to say you have to change this, but "authorized" is not spelled with an "s"...not the biggest deal of course, just thought you may want to know...

If past experience on other forums/boards is any indication of future actions, I'm probably going to be lurking, asking a few questions here and there, and generally gaining lots of information about the subject before I put it into action.That said, my biggest "fear" right now is analysis paralysis.

Even if you had a contract that stated he was to make the repairs, something like this still would not hold up in court, if you were challenged.

The biggest mistake I see new people make is they offer investors junk and very quickly you will build a reputation of someone who does not offer quality deals.

I have been given the opportunity to run with the RE/MAX Racers For life, individuals from my office that have been directly affected and I am looking forward to the challenge.
