Do some research on Loopnet, find a listing that matches, or is similar to, your criteria and cold call the listing Broker.

I really wanted to make my house to be done soon, so I transferred him $3,000 deposit as part of our agreement - the first payment.

My layman impression is that if both of those points are true, you get contact info on the heirs, update your files, and continue to deposit checks.If they are not paying, the key is to find out who the executor is.

Your deposit is normally non-refundable.It is ALWAYS suggested to get your financing in order BEFORE you make an offer. 

I have the same mentality, in this case the tenant has no lease nor does she have a deposit in place from when I took over the property.

(My work does not match 401K or I would invest up to the match.)I am currently averaging about $6k/month take home which with our current budget should allow us to save around $2k/month.

There will be some light patching and texture matching.

I was skeptical when things weren’t matching.

I have currently been looking over several purchase and sale agreements used for wholesale deals, and I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the seller holds the funds for the earnest money deposit; for the property under contract, or is it given to a third party until the deal is closed? 

It’s Friday and the seller now says the person not paying utilities is ‘supposed to be out Monday’ as they don’t pay rent, no deposit or other.
