I never walk in asking for the lease option, but you will get them if you can sell it as an option... in this discounted market they are easier to push every day...

Realtors do risk liability so we have to walk a fine line but we want to help you!

Since you are walking away your agent makes nothing...so all they money that they put out is lost.

I was asking about your next deal to see if it fit in with what you were trying to do and how much you'd have out.

I think you're going to find that after you've spent a little time amongst us you'll see that we're all crazy and that you'll fit right in.

That fits in fairly well with my goals for investing in real estate.I assume that these percentages are based on the cost to buy from the first page - which in this case is > $60k.

My personal rule of thumb is that unless I working in the yard or doing projects, I always try to dress at a level that I could "walk into church and not be embarrassed" (my gramma's old saying :lol: ) It shows as much respect FOR the person with whom you are are meeting as it does that you yourself are a serious, competent professional.

You even go so far as to think and act like someone who fits that stereotype.

Let them do the "dirty work" and walk you through the process and split the deal 50/50 with them.

If it acts like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.As Ryan was saying, I don't see legal action coming up against someone for this, unless you find an agent who is pissed because you're taking the commission that he's worked to be qualified to receive without doing any of that yourself or you piss a buyer or a seller off by not handling the deal well and it being exposed.
