You're not likely to lose money taking this approach... and when you do a deal, you'll know your profit in advance.

So-- neat and clean, professional, age appropriate, nothing fancy or designer that reeks of money (like I'd have anything fitting that description in my closet anyway-- sheesh :mrgreen: )

A couple issues that you will need to take into account when taking this approach:1.

At this crucial point you are approaching the danger zone, because the doctor will request what seems to be innocent-enough contact information from you so he can put you in touch with his financier (like your full name, street address, and business and/or home phone number).As the doctor's move-in date approaches, you will be advised that the family is having furniture delivered (which is right at about the same time your check is scheduled to arrive).

Just a different approach.

Neither of us will have any "taxable" cashflow with which to approach mortgage brokers with, as any money I've made the past 3 years has been from poker (non-taxable, treated as a windfall in Canada).

But, I've heard him a few times, and he seems to have the "close the deal on one phone call" approach down cold.3.

Granted, real estate conditions are local but take a back seat approach and don't buy until mid-2009.

What I'd like to know is what's the best way to approach this with banks?

I've had the flu, and haven't had the opportunity to approach the owners.I really appreciate the advice.
