Still waiting to hear about a new 15 prop. deal. The anticipation is high and a little distracting. But I go on...

Tonight I had a meeting with a potential seller that I had to postpone since Jan. I was sick, then they were sick then I was better and their kid had strep... you get the picture. Anyway, I went to the house tonight and just as I thought, it will probably just be a practice exercise. But... practice makes perfect.

The sellers aren't really all that motivated and they want way too much for the house (it's a mobile in a small rather dinky park). They didn't even have the decency to turn off the TV while we were talking. But they were young, ill informed and I probably just saved them a whole lot of trouble. They have no place to go if they sell in the next 30 days. Have no money to pay to stay anywhere, have an 18 month old that prevents them from moving in with family, have an outstanding debt in their name for a family member and have a credit score that is barely above acceptable. I suggested that they try to see if they could get a mortgage for another house (as they hoped to do.) The only good news is that the house is paid off so if nothing else works, they still will have a roof over their heads and that's what's important.
If nothing else, I opened their eyes to some facts they really had no idea about.

On to the next one!

Till next time...
