I have lined up commercial loan which may take another 45 days to close.Now my question is that I have found a w2 job that I will start in 15 days (Oct 17th).

He did mine and did a great job--efficient, fair priced, knew what he was talking about, and didnt play any of the seller's agent games. 

You are correct that there are some logistics that you've got to pay attention to but that is part of the qualified intermediary's job -steering you through the regulatory maze.  

Has anyone ever targeted people looking for a job? 

My retirement account is a Florida state retirement fund (so, I would have to quit my current job and possibly pay taxes and applicable penalties on the 70k and, there is a 3 month waiting period once employment is terminated).  

Hello BP community.After getting married, first home (townhouse) into second home (SFH) and job stability I am finally ready to acquire my first rental property!

All my carpet jobs have been small and either wouldn't have qualified for the specials or hd couldn't get me scheduled fast enough, so I haven't actually used them to know if this is true.

(this is the only thing we need to negotiate - EQUITY)I will send the seller a contract of sale (and a copy to you) - I always use my "Skinny Contract Offer" at a price we both agreed to -  Your job will be to get comps - look at the property - make an inspection and determine that the offer I make is at a price where we can make a reasonable equity profit.

If you feel that the exterior even needs painting, Joe the Painter (assuming he has previous experience) can bid on that job along with other painters.  

Is that common there?
