@David Mitro My understanding of what you're saying is that you're worried that she will stress about having another room vacant and back out of the purchase.

Less complicated flipping land than houses with less stress.As we know stress is a killer,Happy investing,

BUT, if I have all my ducks in a row AND the DCR is higher than the minimum, it should be a no brainier.I can't stress enough, however, the importance of having a large reserve just sitting in the bank.

I am now about to press the button on my first piece of property which is a single family fixer-upper unit near me.

I know this is something that should definitely be done, but in the stress and commotion of moving, we must have forgotten to do so both times...the house is pretty dang old, so there would have been a lot of pictures.If we find that we had paid in cash, are we screwed if he claims we never gave him a deposit?

The agent that contacted you is probably just paying Zillow for the leads from the contact button.

We all buy cash and can close in ......days.I like to be upfront with sellers and I always focus on how my primary focus is to help relieve them of the stress holding on to the property is causing them.  

I cannot stress enough to use a lender that has closed HUD deals as they can be difficult.3.

That is fine once you made it and have clients, before then wear a shirt and tie.2) Don't overdo your social media, post normal things (stay off hot button topics).

@Natalie Williams One thing to consider is if you can obtain a list online with a credit card and a click of a button, so can everyone else so competition may be fierce.
