Brett - Yes, I'm sure they are found out after a while. Codes of ethics/rules/laws only tend to keep the honest people honest.

J - Thanks for the input. It would be handy if there was a way.

Percy - Good information, thanks!

Mike - Good point, I guess it is all about perspective.

Nick - I guess it is an effective tactic for the institution but not good for the buyer...

Russell - Good point that the agent should know the market and other agents operating in it. And it is interesting that wanting verifiable facts might kill your deal. Good information. Thanks.

Tammy - I think the key is like you said to know your limit and not go over it. 

Fred - Sounds like I need to check out that group. I've been looking at mainly the Faulkner county area right now.

Dale - Thanks, I hear the hunting is good up your way! And hopefully the land flipping is good too.

Allison - Thanks! Good to know you have had success in the market. 

Kathie - We like to visit Garvan Gardens on occasion, I will get in touch if we make it down your way.

Robert - Thanks, hope you have some success up in the Fort! 

Andrew - Thanks!

Douglas - Thank you for the information, I will have to look into that group. Much appreciated.

Vincent - Some folks think it is affordable, some think it is overpriced in areas. All a matter of perspective. You are definitely right on the try and buy low, that is where you make your money.

Ray - Thanks, I will probably be contacting you in the future for information and advice.

On a recent home purchase, I submitted an offer and I was told there were no offers on the home when I submitted mine. The next day when the deadline was nearing on hearing back from the home owner, the listing agent told my agent there had been multiple offers on the home since I submitted mine. I ended up increasing my offer on the advice of my agent and got the home.

I was told there was no way to verify if there were actually any other offers on the home. Now that I'm looking at investing in real estate, I'm trying to get as informed as possible about this situation in case it happens again. Is there anyway possible to verify there were actually other offers especially after closing? I trust my agent but I also would like to be able to verify what they told me was true especially when it cost me more money.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

My name is Kris Kendrick and I live and work in central Arkansas. I have limited experience in real estate which is purchasing my primary residence. 

My goal for joining bigger pockets is to gain knowledge from BP community who are experience in real estate investing. I also look forward to networking with you all. 

Another goal I have set it to purchase an investment property within the next year. I'm looking to buy and hold for the long term. My family is on board with the plan and we are setting the path that we want to pursue. And hopefully that purchase will be the first of many more to come. I'm also contemplating getting my real estate license in the near future before I start investing. 

I look forward to interacting with all of you. 

God bless.

Kris
