Pre-Closing The Contract If you are the buyer and your offer was accepted by the seller, you will enter into a contract.

Additionally, I recommend reaching out to @Kyle Mast for his perspective.

I did a few and someone turned me in :) and sure enough I got a cease and desist and had to pay a fine and spend 20k creating what State of Oregon  calls a Real Estate paper offering !!.  

After a few months the seller actually came back with an offer that worked great for all involved and we put the deal back together.

New construction may be an option, many builders are offering rate buy downs and closing cost assistance and then you get quicker appreciation when they continue to build out the community.

Your competing with big national lenders that are offering financing with low rates by buying the rate down. 

I get texts/postcards/calls offering me cash for the house a lot, but I don’t want to sell the whole thing outright, I want to retain my ownership and investment and build a property empire with someone who wants to invest - and I’m totally okay with full involvement or silent partnership. 

Additionally, I'm planning to commence my real estate investment journey by house hacking and eventually scale up to large multifamily assets. 

Perhaps they did listen and just understood you weren't offering anything that was useful to them.

this is a great service to counter balance those out there that think they are experts charging 15 to 30k to learn this method which really is not all that complicated once explained :)Comment: "PS I am glad your offering this and dont charge for it.."
