@Brian Trickett, you "feel that giving Phil $10k-25k upfront, followed by $250k of your first earned $500k profit (so that you can then get your initial $10k-25k back) is a way for you to FINALLY get a nudge in the right direction"?

So, my question is the following, if the Seller hasn't signed the documents yet, or if we’ve not received the signed term agreement, is this house still under contract?

(which he did not)  She is having a good look around so I ask if she is hard of hearing and tell her she left the place in a disgusting state after she was trusted to rent with animals and that I really didn't want her in there.15 mins later, I follow her out back, behind the property and she is now on the god damn roof (stable block with is unsupported and poss rotten) as she needs to get her wind chimes she left.I ask her to get down as that would be my liability and (also ask if she is a grown woman or a child so lost my cool a little) agree to climb out the window to get the darn wind chimes.

I have great renters who try to follow all the crazy rules that the hoa has made up.

So speak to that ideal audience using their language.How long till you follow up?

They should have no problem sharing the original application with certain information retracted (date of birth, social, driver's license, etc.)I use a screening score sheet.

The following is a site and has great resources,https://www.hud.gov/states/washington/renting/tenantrightsGood luck!

Good follow up question and in my opinion, the answer to that is yes but based on underwriter discretion.

"I don't like Realtors, they should all rebate" just posted a follow up to his crazy "mortgage broker calling the seller without telling the seller's agent" idea and what was his solution???
