Advice?? Placing multiple offers, but no takers

[Anne Grello]

Hello, I am just starting out and trying to get my first investment property. I am using a conventional loan for financing and putting down 25%. Surprisingly, (to me), I have put in multiple offers on different properties (at asking.. sometimes a little above) but the sellers choose to go with other offers. Additionally, when a REALLY good deal comes up, then I am competing with other investors that can come to the table with all cash. This is pretty discouraging for someone trying to get started. Any words of advice or encouragement? Thank you in advance!
