Doing any research on a property, other than the owner's mailing address, prior to an owner contacting is a complete waste of time.

@Shawn M. could you please send me the meeting details (time/address) for the monthly Keller meetings?

There is no need to place the address of the house in the ad.

Do you mail to the property address??

Probably one of the most important issues that is never addresses in creative financing books is how the money is handled…Money needs to be handled properly right from the inception of the deal.A buyer wants to make sure his hard earned monthly payments go to pay the loan.Sellers want to make sure the loan(s) and taxes are paid.Is there anyway to get safely around the dreaded due on sale clause acceleration clause?

When I asked if he had any other vacant orphan houses, he gave me an address and I still have that house, nearly ten years later.Manny, you did not create the situation that caused the owner to bail.

One of my rolls would be to clean up and rehab and manage other workers.In our first discussion, regarding our working relationship and our rolls on this deal I asked his how he intended to address his commission.

But as I investigate the various problems it has, it has become clear that if I were to address all of the issues, I'd end up rebuilding the entire thing.Most of the remodels Ive seen so far has been just putting lip stick on a pig.

And even if it were a situation like Bill described "cutting a sweet deal to new tenants just before the sale" then that activity should have been addressed/prevented in the contract negotiations.The closing is less than a week away.

The more intimate the interaction the better chance you have of uncovering what their fears and needs are which, if properly addressed, will give you a much better chance of converting that prospect into a private lender.
