Post: Marketing to Buyers and Closing

- Philadelphia, PA

Hello BP Community:
My strategy is to predominantly market at REIAS and other networking events.
Also, I plan to use a non-fundable down-payment to ensure interest in a sale and/or ensure I get paid while possibly continuing to market.
I have some questions about marketing to cash buyers:
1. How much information is appropriate to disclose when advertising a property face-to-face?
2. What are others' thoughts on asking for a down payment before seeing the house?
3. Could someone give me a good example of how to negotiate the wholesaled price with a buyer who has a repair fee estimate that does not fit the numbers? And then how might that conversation go with the seller to maintain those numbers?
Thank you for any feedback in advance.
Sincerely,
Carla

Can you give a "for instance" in using these steps and what the outcome was? That would be really helpful.
Post: Assignment of Contract/ Purchase-Sale Contract

Hello BP Community:
I need some clarity as to what all goes into an assignment of contract and a Purchase-Sale contract. Section by section.
Also any personal experiences on strategies used during closing would be great.
So far I've learned about:
What it means to sell "AS-IS" therefore stating the cost of repairs would be at the buyer's discretion.
Also, including the cost of transfer on the seller and buyer, respectively (especially with PA's transfer tax law).
I also understand getting both agreements notarized is wise.
If there's anything else that I should be aware of, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for all your insights!
