This is especially true of small mom & pop businesses in high end areas.  

Unfortunately, Con artist figured that out long time ago.

He’s a scam artist lol only preys on new investors that have no idea what’s going on 

As an investor-friendly agent based in New Jersey, I’ve seen folks leverage a strong network (like probate attorneys, local wholesalers, or even specialized divorce attorneys) to find properties that don’t always pop up in public listings.

But I believe for the majority of mom and pop landlords, it's not worth offering a concession.

I think you'll see the model continue to evolve in the future, with more "next gen" firms popping up.

@Chris Seveney I remember when cupcakes shops were popping up everywhere and were a big thing.Then, poof, most of them were gone!

While there are certainly opportunities for finding trades and deals in these areas, they’re often pursued by local, mom-and-pop operations.
