In MIchigan you are almost better of waiting for the property to hit the MLS.

If you mean by saying I'll be there from 2:00 to 3:00 EST on 00/00/2008 I can do that but in waiting for someone to show up I'd find something else to do while waiting....Something that might help it would be that if you could turn on a sound so when another person joined your computer would beep at you.

It looks like our house is going to close, one or two items left on the inspection punch list.We'll be out of here on April 22nd and (depending on what time the movers finish up) in CO a day or two later.Typical ordeal of the crap with selling the house, inspections etc.I can't wait, although my bride will kill me if we get any "late" April snow this year.

Does the new owner have to wait to move in?

Folks aren't just sitting around waiting to reply, so give them a bit of a chance.I'm confused about what you're asking.

In fact one of these projects was in a tertiary market in TX with very little section 8 housing available and we ran a waiting list the entire time we had the building.

You don't need to present your offer with comps and if a realtor already has the listing, you don't need to waite for an asking price if you are really going to offer.Definantly you need your own Realtor who is good at negotiating.But you will most certainly want to talk to a bank first before making an offer, becuase like i said the property won't qualify for a conventional mortgage.also, you should get a better "Price" becuase you are going to take on the role of a builder, and builders build to make money not break even.

While you're waiting to find a lease-option "buyer" who has bad credit, yet a big pile of cash, you are losing rent.

EMC has been waiting almost a month and the only response is that they want more money.

Over the course of a year, thats $58/month.If you're hoping for inflation to bail you out, you have to wait quite a while.
