Compiling a list of questions to ask sub-2 prospects. Your input is needed

[gordo2417]

Maybe everyone can benefit from this post (if people participate).  I'm trying to compile a word doc of questions that I want to ask a sub-2 prospect, or for that matter any seller, to cover all my bases so I can provide the homeowner options on the spot.  I'll start the thread and see where it goes from here.  There are in no random order.

How much do you currently owe on all mortgages?
How long have you lived here?
What improvements have you made?
What do you want out of your house?  Walking money, nothing, etc.

do you owe any taxes on the prop?

[gordo2417]

yep good one.  Forgot about that.  

Is everything current?
Utilities?  Taxes?  
Is the title clear of any liens?

When did you buy the home

What did you pay for it.... (Gives you an idea what is was worth back then)

Whose name is on title.....(Make sure you're talking to the person that matters)

What are your payments, does this include insurance and taxes.....(This will tell you if you can cashflow)

Why you selling..... (This will give you insight of their problem so you can solve their problem and/or meet their need)

In addition to "what improvements have been made", i usually ask what improvements NEED to be made".

Gives me a heads up (even though they don't usually tell you much  )....
