Scott has a good point, as usual, and his 95% of the asking price tells me somthing else.....Pricing the property right for the current market conditions is key and it appears he does that.If it's priced right to begin with you shouldn't have to reduce prices, but there are times when you won't know, as the #1 above, try to get in tune with the market and if you need to sell, don't hang on, drop it and move it.I have never done this but another method I've seen in my area is a dropping price type listing where they say the price will be dropped by XXX dollars a week until gone.

Please note on a good faith I have already got the whole house carpet professionally cleaned and shampooed paying $225 before I handed the keys to the landlord.Regards,My NameCc: Mr XXX, Esq.  

Their stock letter reads:"To Whom It May Concern,This is to verify that we have made an offer to lend [Our Land Trust], [Our RE Corp], Trustee up to $[XXX,000.00] at closing for the purchase of the above named property.The loan will be for one year, interest only at [XX]% with a monthly payment due and payable on the first of each month.This loan is subject to our usual property inspection, lien search, title clearance, signed documents and verification of insurance.

That's what I thought, just estimate it and state that the population is estimated to be XX,XXX. like 18,632....I think an exact number as an estimate would look better, but they may ask where you got it, so be able to explain it to some degree.

. - Find recently sold vacant lots in your area and base it on the comps.If the highest and best use is for residential development... and you know that a finished house would sell for $XXX,XXX.XX then a typical developer would buy the land for 15 - 30% of the total development cost (land + soft cost + hard cost).

Please call me if you are interested to speak further at xxx-xxxx."

I was just wondering if anyone else does a system where they provide an allowance of $xxx for appliances, and the buyer can select them.

Also, as an Autistic, [BTW, proud to be one] when I learn something, unless it becomes a "special interest," [and then feel compulsed to learn everything on a subject] I tend to believe what I was initialy taught years ago.

I tell people right upfront that xxx (actually my LLC) handles the maintenance and rents, and having that "separation" is invaluable.

Go to a walmart in a farming area and pitch it and end it with your business card and saying you offer xxx-amount for referrals.
