Previously , Hud's  aged inventory would manually review and accept bids significantly below this threshold -Price drops are not following any specific pattern based on days on market. 

Some things to consider are the age and condition of major systems like the roof, HVAC, and plumbing.

Hey Jonathan,First off, let me just say, you and your brothers are doing something incredible at such a young age!

The clients we book ourselves are looking rest and discretion (some are recuperating out patients from nearby hospitals) and all of this is clearly stated in our policy and description with Evolve including an "age requirement" to book with us.
