PS - Newbie and clueless

You want to build a positive reputation with everyone, so you should know a bit more which can be found on this site. You also don't want to find yourself in legal trouble. Just know the basics first.

You have your buyers list right? and someone to turn it over to? Make sure you put your name as (buyer) and/or assigns.. this is important!

That clause will allow you to sign over the contract to your end buyer. You ARE an investor, if anyone asks you are interested in the property, but you have "partners" you work with, and at this point you're not sure if you want to keep the property for yourself or have one of you partners/buyers take it over.

Take yourself seriously.

Read, read, read. Dean's books will tell you everything you need to know!

As far as your buyer you may have scared off, follow up with him next week or a few days let him know you are truly interested in the property, be persistent. If he needs convincing, remind him how you can help him, find his hot buttons, and bring them up. Why is he wanting to sell? Assure him you can get the property out from under him so he can move on in life. What does have have to lose? you'll tie up the property for a few weeks, if it doesnt work you walk away. But you WILL make it work!!

Also, you do not NEED your real estate agent to negotiate your contract,unless it's listed on the MLS by another agent, if it's sale by owner, keep it between you and the owner.IMHO

Good luck! Will be checking in to see how you're doing!

Great comments and advice for you in this thread and on this site. Although you don't need an agent to buy and sell, are the properties listed with an agent currently or did you find them? What is your exit strategy, meaning do you have end buyers to pass these properties along to, or are you going to fix and flip them?

I think you need to slow down, read some posts and some books. There are free forms on this site, in the left margin area.

Good luck.

as I see the classified on here. You don't need an agent, but you do need to know what you are doing. Ask the individual questions and read all the post you can in order to move these properties that you have under contract.

When you present yourself as an investor to a buyer or a seller, you are your own sole business entity. You have to be at a mindset the houses are your property inventory and you buy & sell them as your products. You have partner: the DG family. That's why you posted your questions with your partners/family. One way you can overcome the 'earnest money' is add the SUBJECT TO CLOSING OF SALE that the earnest money will be paid. That way, it can just be deducted from your assignment fee without coming up with cash up front & guaranteed that if the deal falls through, you're not losing anything. Entrance & exit strategies: bring it up with your partners or family - us! We're all investors, someone's bound to pickup on your deal, right? Hope that helps your confidence, u can do this. In turn, when u succeed, u build ours too. God bless - john
