I'm assuming he lives in a location where dilapidated blue-collar properties are not as abundant as they are in my area.

I got my most recent batch of business cards (they're fairly generic, just have my name, email, phone, and website on a blue design background... glossy on the front, nothing on the back) for less than 15 bucks shipped OVERNIGHT 'cause I needed them the day after, 250 for free, only pay shipping... so there's no excuse for cheap looking business cards in this day and age!

In those same blue collar, rural areas I've found that you can lease option fixer uppers and have an excellent response.

Then out of the blue....

Depends what your favorite color is.If you like yellow and black, then Dewalt, red and black Milwaukee, blue Kobalt, green Ryobi, and so forth.

I would paint fascia, shutters, garage door, new gabble and post a light gray.Add black sconce light(s) by front door.Add decretive black wrought iron hardware to garage door.I would choose a craftsman style front door with six panel windows to mimic windows on house and paint it a shade of blue or red.Remove shrub and add grasses and flowers with mulch between sidewalk and house to garage door and mirror the other side for balance.

You have to justify why you did not just buy at home to get the exact same ACTUAL cash flow as what you think or blue sky profroma said you would get.

My '03 Explorer blue books for around $3k and is great for hauling the fam (and construction materials).

Review your documentation, especially email, to see if you can demonstrate that you had the intent to hold but received an offer out of the blue.
