Bypassing the Earnest Money Deposit

[George Courtney]

Hi Guys,

What are the best ways that I can bypass submitting cash dollars and etc. for the Earnest Money Deposit suggested by a realtor in order for my offer to be seriously considered?

Many Thanx

Most people want to avoid putting down EM b/c they are broke or new to investing. This will never fly if your trying to buy bank REO;s. Now you can get away with it if your dealing with distressed owners. Tell them you will put down $100 in EM but it will be held with your closing company.

Good luck
