@Chris Purvis -  Every broker I deal with (I represent buyers in a brokerage) require a pre-qualification letter to be submitted with all offers, and some require a proof of funds as well.  

It's been a while since I went there, but if you go to memphisinvest.com and share your name and email address, you will get access to Chris Clothier's short video that explains how to build a "bank book." 

Also a factor is if you are looking to do a 1031 exchange on these properties and tax defer into other properties or you want to sell and cash out with paying the capital gains tax.The timeline you want to accomplish this in will also determine options.Determine what you have and who the target buyer is.Look up Chris Clothier on here.

Thank you Chris 

I can only assume that those numbers are below what you will actually have to pay.Maybe I am missing something, but that is my two cents.Thanks, Chris

Chris those are the current tax numbers, and you're right we need to budget for them to go up.Thank you everyone!

Thanks,Chris

Then poke holes in it, fix them and move until you have the most targeted campaign that will deliver the best ROI.Hope that didnt confuse you, I am in between calls here and thought I would throw that one out.Regards,Chris

Thank you austininvestor (Chris),I have been on about 10 different forums looking for some feedback from someone doing basically the same thing we are.Your post was very helpful.

Chris the person to talk to is the owner about buying the property.
