In the wee hours of the morning, as you can see from the time of this post, I thought, why not turn this into a positive (since that's what I always try to do in any deal, turn the sows ear to a silk purse).

Hi Friends,I finally close on my first deal this morning and i just can't to say thank you to everyone on this forum.

Hi Luiz.We are probably introduce a solution for this by the end of the month with issuing a soft POF for shortsales for the lender that will not accept 3rd party letters.

Those who walk away have the power, ultimately.If they are unreasonable with price, thank them, offer them some tips on how to sell on thier own, walk away and then....follow up - systematically.I call all my FSBO's on Monday mornings, ask them "how their showings went?""

FNMA's agent told my agent this morning "Federal law keeps them from adjusting the amount in the clause".

some buyers will get ticked that they're paying your fee, and it's best to find out earlier rather than the morning of the closing..not saying it's fair to you, but that's the way some buyers are..are your end buyers paying with cash or financing?

I just spoke with my GC again this morning, and he's brought an amazing resource on board!

So far we have 2 Coffee Talk Radio programs archived on Blog Talk Radio with new episodes weekly on Thursday mornings.

I am saying it is a case by case basis.A mistake I made as a landlord is thinking tenants look at rent the same way an owner does.For instance:A tenant paying 800 month to month we were going to raise to 820.The tenant said they can't afford it and it's true because we have looked at pay stubs etc. and they usually have to get charity for full amount along with what they pay(it is an inherited tenant).They said they wanted to move to cheaper place at 750 a month.All the tenant thought about is costs DAY to DAY and not the fact that the 750 place does not include water,sewer,trash and they would have to put down a deposit and pay moving costs.When they factor in all of that they will pay much more than 800 a month in cost they are currently paying.The tenant ended up staying and we worked it out but it was my mistake to think the tenant understood soft cost and analyzing the true cost involved.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am writing the offer this morning with the realtor and then talking with the loan officer Monday morning about a pre-qual to attach to the offer and then sending the offer through Monday afternoon.
