You might want to investigate further, perhaps the property is overfinanced and you are just wasting your time.

I don't want to buy a condo until I know the financials/reserve, vacant unit, and owner occupied units.Thanks PeterYou got yourself either a) a very lazy agent or b) someone who doesn't think you will follow all the way through so they don;'t want to waste time.

I know a lot of rehabbers don't like to waste time with this, but I have a full time job and am only doing this part time for now.

Dont waste your time trying to work with financed buyers.If they are financed at all - it has to be through a hard money lender (private lender, whatever you call it).

Total waste of time when dealing with private sellers.

I wouldnt waste money upgrading it besides the BARE essentials.

My goal is always to get enough information to see if I want to look further.If I was a seller, I would hate to have to give out every bit of financial information to every remotely-interested buyer, it just isn't worth the hassle. 90% of people will just waste my time.With that mindset, I can go to a seller and ask the purchase price, or I can estimate everything from what's listed in the MLS or on Craigslist.

Thanks for your help.I tried to do a deal with Homepath financing - the broker dinked around for 3 weeks, then demanded 15% down instead of 10%, a big list of "questions" & conditions, a total waste of time, and too late to get a "regular" investors loan.

The REO ballroom auctions are a waste of time.

If I try putting in grass seeds I'm afraid it's going to be a big flop and a lot of wasted time and money.
