Just want to say thank you for the book recommendation, started listening to it on audible.

 Good! That will help, although I would crop the picture so it doesnt look like a screen shot! A fridge and stove would help. Other than that I have really good luck with Facebook marketplace, that way I can creep there page as well.

Honestly, those pictures look pretty rough and there are none of the interior. Still a shortage of rentals should not take that long.

Real estate full time. I also make and sell 3d printed items, I do a lot better with this closer to Christmas. I also manage to find a ton of odd jobs, painting, clean outs, cutting grass ect. 

Im not sure what your market is like but here, everyone still wants a lipstick flip. Its gonna be awfully hard to compete with cash investors while using a fha loan imo unless you find something off market.

I wouldn't bother asking if they invest themselves. Not everyone that invest is successful and who knows maybe they inherited some properties and are running them into the ground. House hacking is a little different in the sense that as long as you know the arv and market trends in the area your buying, you can make an informed decision. I wouldn't rely on anyone except myself when analyzing cost for repairs with only maybe referencing to others opinions. Use an agent you feel comfortable with! 

Some people are just hesitant and refuse to make a decision. What Jaron said is correct, you need to know their motivation, maybe they can't sell for 2 months, maybe your only meeting with 1 person but 2 people are on title or someone has dower rights. If they say let me think about it consider asking what they need to think about maybe it's a question that you can help answer.

I find a lot of deals are made in the follow up. Send them a card the next day, thank them for time.

See if they have any picture from before the tenant moved in. other than that I have a lot of investors that buy sight unseen contingent upon inspection as long as the numbers make sense.

More of a serious buyer? How do they know have they met the buyers personally? Did they make a offer just for fun? Are they both asking for an inspection? what are the terms of the inspections. Is one lender better than the other? Lots to consider but id usually take a conventional loan for more money over fha

Usually the bigger firms have more training and help vs the smaller mom pop shops. interview at several places a lot of times is the owner or managing broker that make a location great.
