As I stated before screen all your incoming mailer calls so you can listen and research each property prior to talking to the seller.  

So should i just make the owner an offer prior to this meeting and see if the owner will sign it? 

And you haven't lived in it for 2 out of the previous 5 years prior to sale so you don't qualify for the sec 121 exemption either.  

It is super common for the banks to say yah yah yah then you start and its like oh.. yah...I think the post prior to this one is referring you to a credit union - check those out and other local vested in their town banks.

Prior to end of their lease give notice to not renew.

A lot we sell prior to hitting the market so I can always keep it in mind if something matches for you.

Prior to the closing you will need a mortgage and note for the private lender. 

Honestly the words were clear prior to hitting the submit.

But if not, it seems it would be hard to prove that something was entered way back in January, versus a few days prior to tax time.

I'm stalling here because I keep coming across private lenders that want me to submit my app with the deal BUT I was taught through numerous sources that I should have funding lined up prior to going for the deals.
