The Lead
Home owner is relocating and wants to sell 4 bedroom 2 bath 2,200 sq/ft house in good neighborhood. 
Asking: $175,000
Amount Owed: $103,000
Repairs: none (he says)
After Repaired Value: $160,000
Max Offer: $104,000

I have two problems. 
1. I cannot get MLS listings because my agent has quit.  I have requested listing from another agent and I am waiting.
2. I have no money.  I cannot come up with $100k+, maybe about $50k.  I have no lender or investor lined up.
He said he was in No Hurry to sell, but entered $150,000 as the least he would take to sell fast.

I have a formal estimate from my main contractor for $15,255 and my total purchase price with closing costs was $32,679.25.  So, I have spent $47,934.25.
