Take a few weeks to gather the superficial knowledge of several methods, you can always tell a seller you want to take a little more time to think of a few solutions that might better solve his problem for him and then make an appoint to present maybe 2 or 3 offers for his consideration..I am a big fan of Benjamin Franklin's 13 week plan.

And it definetly doesn't take into consideration the condition of the house.

The volume of the trade affords no additional discount all loans are priced on a loan level basis with consideration to the aggregate dollars.  

On the contrary myself, as well as many agents are willing to spend considerable amounts of time answering questions from prospective clients.  

I can see why some say it's going to happen, because my in-laws house, basically a fancy trailer, just sold for well north of 200k in south Florida and in the height of the bubble before it was only worth 160k.So are we headed towards a housing recession?

I have a good enough team down in Texas now where I can buy, renovate and flip a house without ever seeing it in person - this took a while to build though.A few considerations:1.

Our most recent listing was for a 3/2 lease-option for $995/mo and $3K non-refundable option consideration.

And for the record, none of the above comments are from investors/landlords in MA so take that into consideration.

I may even post at least the floorplan on here for suggestions.One thing I cannot change that is going to be something I need to overcome is the ceiling height.  

Does anyone else have any considerations, advice, tips, paths that I haven't considered?
