Traditionally banks loan on appraised or purchase, whichever is lower...you may be describing a hard money lender...that's a different ballgame altogether...It's impossible (in 99.999%) of all real estate acquisitions to use financing and acquire a property with no money out of pocket...best you could do is HML if you're flipping this...you may scrape by with points and fees...If you're using HML you will have to sell the property or settle the debt with a re-finance...re-fi's are typically 70% LTV...and completely dependent upon your personal financial situation, DTI...easy to get burned if you don't have capacity or the value is not there...and this is an expensive asset.A conventional lender can't lend if seller financing is involved...lending constraints...

Nice write-up, thank you @Alex Babayev.A question - when you make an offer with "no inspections" stipulation, does it mean you wave due diligence altogether or do you still have due diligence but the offer is not contingent on its results?

They want to down size and most aren't looking to buy new homes.Many members of the next largest group, millennials, have tremendous amounts of student loan debt keeping them out altogether or making them push off the purchase of a home. 

I don't like the idea of closing off the LR/kitchen doorway altogether because it makes traveling from kitchen to front door a long path.

There was another method you can use Being that you are dealing with criminals you may wanna see about your local police station serving the paperwork ( oddly enough many do this for a nominal fee) because this will really upset these guys if they see somebody that’s in law-enforcement coming out to the house and serving the papers. it will make them very nervous and they may want to leave altogether or comply

I have a secondary strategy, if I don't win, of approaching the winner and trying to peel off at least some of the property around me at a premium to them, but I am hoping to avoid that scenario altogether. 

I would hate to do our first one long distance and get turned off altogether because of one experience if it’s bad.

I have been hit with this in the past and the fence was old in both cases in the past so I removed the fence altogether and solved the violation that way. 

Im sorry @redgy saint-germain even though i live in new bedford the property im investing in is not in new bedford so yes the price points may seem a lil high how ever im not sure if i Implied the flip is in new bedford I don't know if it's my fault and I said that or if maybe you've assumed that because I live in New Bedford  how ever that's not where the property is I'm investing in a diffrent area altogether either way my apologies because that's not the case of course I would most certainly do my due diligence before investing in a property And the last thing I wanna do is waste anyone's time Especially someone who's loaning us money or even my realtor who works hard for hers i guess all in all what i was asking for when i had put this post up was help finding a good lender which since then we have found one so thank you  I guess I just didn't really express myself correctly so my apologies

As with an assignment you, seller and buyer basically close altogether during the closing process.
