I think it's just going to be a numbers game until I find a deal that will fit.

What happens is you get bit, and when you get bit hard enough you start sticking with 70% of ARV minus repairs as a maximum offer.The reason behind this is found in Jim Watkins', aka thedfwmentor, poignant signature, which states. . .You will NEVER lose money on a deal you walk away from.

It sounds like you will fit in perfectly.

(seller pay closing costs and contingency if not sold in 30-45 days that I walk and don't pay a fee?)

I am one of those interior designers who has "staged" homes for agents and every one of them has sold during the realtor walk-through and/or the open house.

This week we scheduled a walk thru to see the inside.

I really enjoy the quality oflife.I can easily walk to the Collin Creek Mall.

Do yourself a favor... just walk away from this "deal".

His family did a Estate sale, no ad in the paper,CL or anywhere else,that same day an agent from a 10 miles away WAS WALKING BY and solicit his service and got it listed.

BUT, the property is walking distance to a hospital so there is a big possibility of getting nurses and maintenence people as tenants if i work hard to get it rented.
