If the price is too cheap then they will cut corners to preserve margins or put you on the back burner while they handle more lucrative accounts for their time invested.

Seller may be tempted to cut you out too.

Same thing with commercial for anything under 1 million although some lenders cut off is 500k.

I think I will take your advise and just make up the lost cash by partially financing my next project instead of a straight purchase and go the beneficiary route for my mother's home.

Thanks for the replies…I have debated doing this so many times…I feel it is the way of the future and that cable companies will eventually phase out…most people that I have talked to that have cut the cable, they all end up going back :-/

In court some months there can be thousands of writs to serve and with the city of Atlanta and Fulton cutting back staff for the Marshalls office you can guess what happens.

ARV is $120k, I told him he could probably get $65k, but I wouldn't be a player at anything over $55k.I should take pictures, the SFH had not been trashed out yet, uggghh it was disgusting, but it seemed very solid and the kitchen was not to bad.Nothing better than having a good realtor who knows I'm a straight shooter who pays cash.

Now instead of having 10k to work with you would now have 30k (minus uncle sam's cut ofcourse) but to do all of this in say 3 months from start to finish your would turn that 10k into 100k really fast.

Scams, mislead folks that want some short cut.

I've had to work really hard to make an honest deal profitable for all involved in my own experiences, and I don't like cut corners.
