(Too many want to be investors take too long to make an offer or close a deal)When you get leads - I will be glad to do a 3-way on the phone with you - I'll ask the questions - you listen and learn .Every property offered is or could be a good deal -The only thing that make a property a bad deal is PRICE - every property will SELL when the price is where it should be!

Ashley - I don't know if this is a good deal or not - but I did respond to that listing - it looks bad and empty - There could be lots of equity or lots of stress - I like in and out in a short period of time.In my opinion every property offer is a "deal" - Every property offered is or could be a good deal -The only thing that make a property a bad deal is PRICEEvery property will sell if the price is rightTime on the market and price (reduction) are close cousins -Price softens as time moves on and motivation and reality is realizedEverything will sell at a price -The first thing I'd want to do is get the history of the property - how long on the market, why is it vacant - what's the reason for selling -What is the current mortgage balance - is it current or in the arrears - What other liens or obligations are on the propertyHow many owners - decision makersWhat is the commission - will agent splitAre there open to a reasonable and creative offerDo they want any profit or to just get it out of their nameCan down payment be paid over timeHow much paper with they accept - delayed payments - principal mortgageAshley - since you exposed this property to all of us - You should see if you can get the answers to those questions above - and play the game - WHAT WOULD I OFFER?
