How did you guys manage this?

So I got this guy working on my cabinets and vanaties.

Depending on the location you could probably get a reasonable hard money loan since only 30% would be ahead of them so not a bad deal.

See my BP blog posthttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8070/51492-why-is-zillow-so-far-off-in-utah-what-is-a-non-disclosure-stateZillow is a great "first pass" data tool, but it is negatively impacted by Utah's status...

My appraisal addendum expires Tuesday evening (was already extended by mutual agreement) to attempt to find resolution, so looks like my cost is just an appraisal.I feel bad for the folks as they are looking to move out of state and have a deal going at their destination... sure hope they had contingencies on closing this sale so they aren't loosing their earnest money, although by the tone of the sellers responses it sounds like they are getting hammered on both ends.

Dave Holland Brandon Hall thank you guys for the info!

@Jeremy Cohen,Double close ( A -> B -> C ) is illegal in most areas these days, thanks to it being so badly abused by short-sale flippers (I won't name names).You will probably need to to do two closings back-to-back: A -> B, B-> C.

Not bad for a deal that you didn’t spend any money on! 

I know a lot of investors eventually come across deals like this just by being in the business (they know a guy who knows a guy who wants to sell his house), but I'd like to start my Real Estate Investing in this way.

You shouldn't always go with the absolute cheapest guy out there.
