However, you should view this as your last option after all avenues have been exhausted as you don't want to build the reputation of someone who is tying up properties without the intention doing your best to make a deal happen.

I currently don't own any properties, but have been researching properties in various markets across the US with the intent to buy in the next six months.My goal is to aquire a portfolio of ten rental properties within the next five years.

Georgia landlords desiring to evict tenants must file their intention to do so with the local justice sytstem regardless of the fact that no formal agreement exists."

A seller who sells to a rehab guy investor, who has the intent of selling, but finds he can't sell and later moves in now has a consumer loan.

Everyone, I'm very happy to have found this site that has people who love and breathe real estate.

We both live in Washington State and have no intention of going to another state though we are under contract on a house in Cle Elum now putting us further away from Seattle and the bulk of our rentals; however, if were both self-employed getting around to the properties becomes less of an issue.

You might ask if there intention is to wholesale the house.

Whether wholesalers are screwing people out of ignorance or intentionally, you're still screwing the public with the thinking in this thread, saying you "bring value" to the deal is pretty much LOL based on demonstrated knowledge of RE described here. 10% is plenty in putting a buyer and seller together without touching the property.

Please understand my beef in this matter rest solely in INTENT TO PURCHASE.
