I have accomplished far more just making friends than I ever did with a business card.I prefer to meet people in person, and once met- I prefer to communicate via email until we can meet again.

If I sell my property and carry back some or all of the purchase price to finance the sale, then I am subject to the SAFE Act, unless the property is my personal residence.A lease option, as it is typically structured, is not a financing arrangement, it is a lease with a separate agreement that gives the tenant the option to buy the property at a mutually agreed price some time in the future.

They are eager, get their whole packet ready immediately, never hold up paperwork when it's requested, they communicate well and I don't have to convince them that what they are doing is the better choice.That said, I have the "other" homeowners too.

let's hook up and communicate my email address is [EMAIL REMOVED].. we can get this going together.

I have written about this subject over on the Bigger Pockets News Blog for months... and the general consensus I have found is that we are headed to a double-dip and it will stay that way until unemployment stablizes.That coupled with all of the anticipated changes in Governement policy and we are in for one hell of a ride.For real estate investors... stay limber... don't be afraid to adapt to the changing conditions and keep the communications open, right here on BP, to what each of us is experiencing.

If they're are using a certain formula to figure the numbers I'll ask for an example, even if I understand it I may ask just to make sure that lines of communication is clear from the jump.

It's been sitting on the market for a while, and the price has just been reduced to 115k, but they're trying to do a short sale.So when I submit my offer, how can I communicate to the seller that he can accept my offer and allow me (well, our short sale investor friend) to do the negotiations and paperwork on his behalf?

That's for another post.Gotta love the open forum of communication on these subjects now.

He states one must consider both the lease and the landlord tenant act together.They owe if they break a lease until the lease ends--one or all of them.

My reason for asking was that I have personally seen where people list their properties in their own name, and then lose one or all of them if they get taken to court.
