The seller is a nice person, and I don't want leave him high and dry when he expects me to buy the property.

Initially we bought it to flip it but after renovating and marketing being dry, we decided to use it as our primary residence.  

This business of someone putting in all the money and another doing all the work may be be so simple or cut and dry as we imagine it can and will be. 

If they move and you don't cancel, then the moving company will charge a dry run in the amount of $250.Good luck...forced moves can really suck.

I  like the 45K properties, even though they have mostly dried up around my target area in Fresno.... but I like the 100k properties more when you have cheap long term debt. 

The duplex I'm considering is right near downtown and some small businesses (dry cleaners, restaurant, gas station, grocery store, etc.).QUESTIONS:1.)

It's also pretty dry in there so I don't really have any concerns of mildew or anything like that.

I have been getting many phone calls lately from purchasers saying residential is drying up.

., looking back, I seem to have taken my cue from the likes of @Wayne Brooks, who writes things like "Are you looking for a title co. that will do a Dry double close, using the C buyer's funds for the A-B transaction also, or a simple double close where the B has their own funds also?""

I think Texas is one of the few states outpacing us right now but they have issues with weather on the coasts there and very high dry heat temps.
