Hey guys ! So i recently came across a deal that really called my attention and i tried scheduling a showing so i could visit the property with my contractor. When i asked the owner he said the property was currently rented and he did not want to bother the tenants, he asked to take his word for what the house needs in repairs and once an offer is accepted he would let the tenants know they had to go in 30 days. I obviously would not buy a property i did not look at, but at the same time it is a very attractive deal. Have you guys had any similar experiences ? if so, how did you handle it ? any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !!!
Write a contract contingent on inspection. If you can't get in, offer a price low enough to cover anything that could be wrong - complete gut rehab, Or walk away. not everything you think should be a deal is a deal.
@Ned Carey@Nathan Gesner i thought about doing that, offer a low enough price that he would either have to accept it or show me the house to work on the numbers in his favor. I was not to sure if to take this approach so thank you for reinforcing that idea.
