We had a buyer sign a contract with a non refundable EMD.

If you want to be creative in a smart, ethical, less expensive way, ASK THE SELLER. 

I need all the help  and direction I can get from people who have been doing it successfully for decades, as a few people here have.If I can make some smart people chuckle, though, the day hasn't been totally wasted either.

This will be the most expensive list I have bought to date, so I would appreciate an experienced wholesaler/flipper/investor's perspective.My 2 exit strategies for this list:#1: Get a property under contract, and wholesale it to another investor for $10k+ profit.#2: Get a property under contract, use hard money lending to fix & flip it myself.# of properties on list: 11,121Will cost over $2k.

We contracted to by 32 units, basically a complex with 8 4 unit buildings, each two story.  

I love the long term wealth building potential that can be found in rentals when done in a smart way.I have learned a ton about deal analysis and so I feel capable of analyzing deals, but I was really curious what some of the more experienced investors are using as their thresholds to sepearate the "good" deals from the "run of the mill" deals.

I have a house in Sherman Texas under contract.

As a seller cash = faster close, no fha hoops to jump through, no other contigencies that the bank requires be addressed before closing.If you already agree to buy a property,  and have a contract, then decide to say "hey I'll give you less in all cash" there is not much power there.

Hey all,How do you deal with tenants that obviously are breaking the contract but you can't prove it?
