Our next topic on July 17 in Worcester is specifically 101 Mistakes in Commercial Development. 

Also look into the seller's situation - that is often times a factor on seller finance or zero down deals. 

I don't know what criteria is factored in for a score, etc.

In most markets you want to be in the "average" range.I don't see that you included any motivating factors.

I do want to move into a new home and have another baby within the next 2 years, so I need to factor that into the equation as well. 

Hey guys ! So a potential deal came across my desk yesterday that I have made an offer for . It is for a vacant lot in an area of NJ where the fourplexes are selling for between 1.1 -1.2 million . I have a quote from ...

Costs about 8% to sell a house the regular route. 10% by the time the inspection report and negotiations conclude.If it's been at least 366 days, taxes shouldn't be a huge factor. 

:I would say 5% is the power of cash in your 100K/ 20% down example (assuming you have good credit)All cash could probably take that deal down for 95K all cash quick close.I think that is how the seller would view it as they would give up 5K for a lower net price but a slam dunk all cash offer.I think the market you’re in is a huge factor; There may be a 5% Cash Power (did I just make that up?)

I could say some things, but I've never done development or learned a lot about it, so I'm not comfortable offering advice there. 

You already have experience in the other stuff...taking down and managing a deal.I also recommend telling yourself a different story than "I don't have cash or financing"...there is all kinds of money looking for deals.one more thing, allocating money from others require good networking, marketing skills which i need to develop in the time being, besides in my current area which i already invested in, there is over-supply.
