Hello everyone!
I’m from Hinesville, GA right off-post from Ft.Stewart, and it’s a small town with 5 minutes going everywhere in there… Most of the houses for sale are listed by real estate agents, and I found one FSBO in the newspaper… I’m just starting in the REI, and haven’t purchased my first property yet. Considering my lease ends in Sept. 1st, I guess I’m desperate to buy a property… With the FSBO ad in the newspaper, it has an assumable loan… called the lady and the loan is $56,900 and her asking price is $62K, she has very little equity going with her asking price… I haven’t checked on the FMV of the house yet, but it’s gotta be around 55-58K… She’s not willing to assist in financing, and she won’t do a lease option…here, it’s like people don’t do lease option period… they just want cash deal mostly… Well, here’s what I was thinking, since the seller is inflexible…maybe she’ll consider my offer, but here’s what I was thinking of offering:
