@Kareem Elshatory they can def be a little tricky when the clock is ticking, but it also helps put the seller in a more vulnerable position when it comes to your offer.

Obviously for you to have refi your DCR would have to be substantive for the equity to have been available to you.

It also has some government tax liens ( IRS ) in subordinate position with no equity.

So many "cash" buyers have commercial lines of credit, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC), even credit cards with significant lines that allow them to convert money into cash quickly. 

Here are some idea: if the person that wants to invest can pull equity out of their home and use that, might be able to get a loan in that country with a sizable down payment.

Those that have had success with some iteration of the design/build/develop model have really leveraged their skills via sweat equity.

To acquire the property, the buyer will need only $702,000 in equity plus amounts sufficient to fund the seller' s replacement reserve, insurance and real estate tax escrows (such escrows are held by the lender for the borrower' s benefit).Would that mean you only need to come up with the $702,000 to purchase? 

They have paid a large amount on the home, and would rather sell it quickly versus losing all their equity.  

The biggest hurdle I have seen is that all postings for positions such as this requires past experience and in some cases schooling.

Either way, you're in a great position to give yourself options for the future.You're doing right now what I want to accomplish in the next 18 - 24 months.
