Hi, Quick Question.  Obviously it's an insane for Sellers right now - Dozens of offers over asking, no contingencies,etc.  Everyone's recommendation on here seems to be to find off-market deals.

My question is: if I put myself in the shoes of a person who is willing to sell (your off-market owner), why would I sell it at a discount to you?  Why wouldn't I just jump in the fray and get a number potentially above appraisal even?  

I know people are buying a lot of off market deals right now, just unclear why people are selling them?

Thanks for the clarity!

Question that I just realized I don't know the answer to:  When the property has back taxes due, is the property usually priced lower than the surrounding comps to bring the total investment to around market value for the investor (with the taxes included)?   

I'm sure it's a quick answer.  Thanks!
