I have started this whole new campaign going on since march, with trying to grow my business to do more deals each year. Right now I'm doing maybe 2 whole sell deals a year. Which isn't enough by a long shot. I have house locators looking for houses for sale by owner, empty houses, and just for every house that i could think to tell them to bring me. I have contracts ready everything i could think of lined up to do more deals. I even have three to five buyers lined up to buy them off of me. Every time i find a house that comes close to what they are looking for, the buyer wont move on the price to get the house sold . Honestly i spent every waking minute looking for the houses that make sense on paper but when i call the owner up they don't want to sell even if the house is falling down. I even asked my wife and kids if i smelled funny to rule that one out of the picture!! I need some ideas to keep me going .

If the buyer is the problem each time, then one or several of the following 3 things is happening: 1. You are not finding homes that are a close enough fit for your specific buyer or 2. You are overpaying for your purchase and thus, your offer price to buyer is too high or 3. Your buyers are not truely motivated buyers.
