If you are too greedy, un-educated, lazy, liar, lazy again, greedy again and lazy one more time, then your business will fail, you will have a stained reputation and you will spend all your time for $0.With all that said, Good Luck!

Good afternoon - What does anyone suggest when submitting an offer for a property where we'll be using cash and/or hard money on the deal, rather than conventional financing (pre-approval letter)?  

(You don't have to nickle and dime it, but no big draws)Be involved in your job, make sure things are done when it's supposed to beHAVE A CONTRACT WITH ALL DETAILS IN WRITING, and have someone that understands the business look it over.NOTE: MOST of the problems with contractors are caused by people being too lazy to do the things I've listed.

I had offered $48 on Thur afternoon, asking price was $65k.

Seller wanted cash now (in fact, they thought a buyer could just give them a check and take a deed like a car title that afternoon and leave town with the old lady).

Good Afternoon, Folks.I have a question that is stumping me. 

Also he did a renovation back in 2008, revamped the appliances, plumbing, and wiring.As for the realtor, when I spoke to her this afternoon, she said she has been trying to sit down with him and hammer out numbers so she can officially list it, but he has been dodging her appointments.

Good afternoon everyone, I am new to investing and my area (and BP PRO) of Tacoma, Washington seems to be a little low on the supply side of MF properties in my price range.

The last thing you want is a lazy appraiser to come in and bomb your value and now you either have to come up with cash to get the LTV down or hope the previous owner is willing to carry the note full term.  

Yup...I guess it is more of an ignorance or laziness tax in that regard.Originally posted by Brian Levredge:I also don't think you can ever truly have a level playing field.
