Update: The week I closed 6 houses in Phoenix without a single bank in the mix
Back around 2015 I had a stretch in April where three sellers called me direct off a bandit sign I forgot I even put up near 7th Ave. Wired $340k total in eight days, and my old mentor kept asking why I wasn't using hard money anymore. Now it feels like everyone wants proof of funds before you even say hello, so has anyone else seen sellers get pickier about that?
