There are many great advantages to being a buyer or seller. 

They aren't because 99% of the home buyers and sellers need an agent to avoid costly mistakes. 

You can target specific people looking to sell their home and tell them that you are an interested buyer.

Pleasant. 

Quote from @Otto Kinn: Quick preface, I'm a cash home buyer.

After we drafted a bare-bones plan that considered their timeline, target rents, and capital reserves, they honed in on a medium-sized complex managed by a local group.. from what I’ve heard, these guys had impressed other out-of-state buyers before and delivered on their promises.

Scan those lists in the markets that interest you and look to see who the buyers and sellers are.

However, even if we see lower mortgage rates in 2025, as this WSJ article points out, falling interest rates won’t solve all the problems faced by many buyers in current market conditions.What if I’m a buyer?

I recall reading in Forbes that major foundation fixes can add surprising value, becuase it addresses the single biggest fear buyers have.. a shaky structure.From my three decades in fix-and-flips, Ive noticed how important it is to have a team you trust.. from attorneys who know probate deals to realtors willing to drive for dollars with you, scouting hidden gems.

If it's there, then the buyer should have noticed that.
