When they leave the store they are supposed to take them in order from time.What happens in the real world is the tippers who tip 4 to 5 bucks get it first in 20 minutes as the driver wants them to keep ordering.The driver delivers to the person who tips 1 to 2 bucks last because they are cheap and the driver hopes with a luke warm pizza they won't order as much or go away all together.I know this because I was int he restaurant business for over 10 years.If you are cheap or try strategies that burn bridges it will catch up to you and cost you way more in the long run.If you are doing a one off deal where you buy and house to live in for 5 to 10 years then it is not as much to worry about.If you are buying properties in an area as an investor you want to develop a good rep.You will drive a great price when you buy but there is a nice way to do it and another way that will get you remembered in a bad way for a long time.Hope it helps from years of experience in the business.

This is sounding more and more like a scam to me.I don't think it's even legal for an escrow company (in California) to accept payment if the agreement hasn't been signed by both parties and delivered to them.

Other times, the property does get listed, but I have a huge time advantage over all others not to mention the "push" from my broker.In other cases, I have relationships with 2 asset managers directly who have the ability to deliver product to me before it is ever placed on the MLS.

Sand being delivered tomorrow morning if anyone local wants to fill sandbags.I think we were just the harbinger of bad things to come.

UPDATE: I just conferred with my developers and was told that this change (the one suggested in my post above) is a pretty large development, and unfortunately, we won't be able to do it right away.Sorry Jim.We will, however, get to it when we complete a few other projects.Thanks for the patience, and sorry for promising something I can't deliver.

The investor community gets a bad rap over a lot of things, but when investors care to deliver a quality home, as you have done, it will serve the new family very well and a lot of times that makes a lot of difference in the lives of the family.

The credit quality is sufficient to deliver them nice risk-adjusted yields well in excess of their cost of capital.

Here, at least, quieting the title is a process that takes months, and would be done by the seller in order to deliver clear title.

Get an executed purchase agreement giving the buyer an acceptable due diligence/inspection period, with the seller of course delivering clear title.

I get so many calls from wholesalers who want my criteria but never actually deliver a potential deal that I normally rush them off the phone as quickly as possible (it's nothing personal...I just don't have the time during the day when they normally call and I can be fairly confident that it won't result in any deals).
