That way he see's you're serious, which he might be doubting, plus you get to keep your $20K seller concession.Put your money where your mouth is - it can be a key indicator that you are serious on closing the deal and not just another "offer mill" candidate.TTFN,Greg

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by limiting your amount down up front by opening your mouth too soon and inserting your foot in it.

Others you will find by opening your mouth and telling others about how you "helped a friend invest their IRA in RE" which leads to the person you are speaking with to ask the question you want them to ask YOU - how did you do that?

Earnest shows you are serious and not afraid to put your money with your mouth is.

Bryan- Aren't you speaking out of both sides of your mouth,tic?

It's amazing what people will tell you if you keep your mouth shut, look interested, and make sympathetic noises.I consider the interview to be part of the application process.

So, when you open your mouth, you are speaking to the seller!

As soon as you step into the house it makes your mouth water :)

Frankly, Jawsette, it appears you're flapping your mouth without knowing the slightest thing about what you are talking about.
