Since some markets are different from the 70% model, I'm just wanting to make sure I'm on track here in the Dallas market.The reason I am conducting this survey is that I want to make sure that I only get deals that will work for investors and have back up to support my offers.

Sell an option to your buyers, leas it, give possession prior to closing, close on day 61, when they will pay the last ten bucks of the deal!

I'm always willing to spend an extra $1500 in order to get a quick sale, a buyer who never second-guesses his decision during the closing process, and agents who ask us to PLEASE let them know the minute we have more houses on the market -- in fact, it's a no-brainer.Throw in fact that appraisers are always very impressed with the extras we throw in -- and keeping appraisers happy is worth thousands in my book -- and the benefits are even more obvious.So, in my opinion, for any house that will likely go to a first-time homebuyer, a fridge (and everything else that makes a house truly move-in ready) is a must-have...Just my business model...

These matters could always be put to a vote or an elected Board of Directors would probably be the simplest resolution.The management is in place and can be utilized or replaced as necessary.Please keep the dialogue coming as all the opinions are useful for my model.

Give it time..The Option model you quote will work when you can find properties for so cheap You could spend years landing one of those deals In Portland way to much completion and way too much real CASH on the West coast for that scheme to work effectively.

I would like to take possession of two of the units, one in my possession and one in my partners possession.

The land was bought by the construction company and we chose our lot and house model.

The stigma is disappearing as high end, efficient models become more common.
