It is always easier to follow up on a warm call than a cold one. 

Should give you a good selection to chose from and you can call or email a few and ask their price and turn time. 

About two weeks prior to the loan coming due, I get a call from him all excited that he had the money and was ready to pay-off the loan.

Have a local and experienced Team to help you to get things done that they are qualified for aand will return your phone calls promptly.  

I'll explain how....First, there's something called Global Cash Flow. 

Other reasons they may be motivated are that they own the property but don't live there and just want to get rid of it for various reasons (called an absentee owner) or they inherited the property and just want to sell quick but they don't want to fix anything up first 

If you want to buy deals with no profit call me.

I'm getting married next month, and have been feeling the pressure to buy a condo, that would serve as a home base for me and my wife when I'm in between international assignments (10 days each 4 months) and would hold me and my wife's things (wedding gifts, furniture etc)My biggest problem is that we would only live in the condo about 20% of year, as we would be traveling abroad as part of my job.

I get calls from international clients all the time.

(See problem #1) That being said the nissan probably has more internal room than my truck does even with the big 4 doors.
