How to compete with out-of-state bidders?

[Vasudev Kirs]

Hello,

I am based in St. Louis and have been searching for multifamily turn keys for the past one year. I am getting outbid by out-of-state folks.

Are there any tips to winning an offer other than outbidding them? I really don't know how much the bids are going for nor is the listing agent legally bound to let me know the honest offers received so far.

Any help would be appreciated!
