Paying CASH and closing quickly is a primary bargaining tool we use to get the contract.There would be absolutely no benefit for us to approach the seller and renegotiate the contract and essentially say, “I know we told you we could close in 10 days and you would have your CASH in hand….but we have a Buyer using conventional financing so we will actually need 30-45 days because instead of CASH they will be using conventional financing.”For a good deal....for any deal I would NEVER do this, just approaching the seller with this could potentially KILL the deal all together.

Now you could replace the sheetrock yourself if you have some basic tools or you could hire a contractor that will charge you labor and markup of material.  

Make it more than a simple rental and sell the whole business+asset.Of course this is not a quick exit, but it should be included in the tool shed.

I know people associate auctions with "great deal" but at the prices people were paying it seemed as if they've never priced out sinks, toliets, tile, flooring, even tools.

This tool is simple and even if they follow it half-heatedly they will more than recoup their $3500.00 and that money does not come out of their pocket it come out of the HELOC.

I actually did purchase the two J Scott books as well, haven't had the ability to put all those tools to practice yet but I'm looking forward to incorporating them into future experiences.

Unfortunately, typical keyword suggestion tools don't deliver much in the way of long tail terms.

i refer folks to ... mtgprofessor.com and click on mortgage calculators under analytical tools.

Never had to offer cash for keys, but I keep that in my tool kit.

Do you use one of the mls tools that comes with mls?
