“Also there is not a lender in the world (preferred or not preferred) out there that will lock a loan for some of the lead times that the builders release phases on. Just to get a 60 day lock on a loan is gonna cost you…So that is something that maybe people need to rethink before giving advice on.”
Nobody said you have to be right when you negotiate..especially unrepresented…That is my point.
In fact it is quite convenient and works to good effect, to not be right or too polite either.You are fighting fire with fire that is all. My real point was if the builder wants to float a loan use it as point of negotiation,period.I agree you should have several options for financing, for leverage if nothing else.
Use everything as a point of negotiaton .
Next: Tell them to pass on some discounts they are getting from subs and suppliers in this unstable enviornment.
Leave the office in the drivers seat.
Why did you start this thread anyway SD Realtor? There are plenty of confused buyer’s coming forward with question on Rich’s blog.
Why did you tell one poster,who just happened to be expressing themselves to be in a dilema about buying or not to give you their email address to get a referral to a lawyer they do not need. Wouldn’t it have been more honest to say here’s My email. Drop me a line if I can help you?
You are one of the best contributors to this blog in my opinion.I have already told you I learn a lot from you. I do think you have ulteriior motives and they are revealed in the slants of your stories and arguments. I also think it doesn’t hurt to try to keep it real.
Best wishes
