I have a niece that's a broker in the Bend area.

Being that they are green, they will work hard for you and you will now have a loyal Realtor that will bend over backward for you.  

If the 70% rule isn't working in your area, bend it, and just understand you need to lower your expectations of profit. 15% profit on 2 deals is much better than 20% of no deals.I just closed a property on friday that im flipping for 18% if it goes perfect, Im willing to do 15% because my market has been so dry.

If you bend the "rule" too much, you could get burned, Do you have numbers on a deal you are considering as an example?

The sellers have more options now so while they might bend some to get a deal done they are not having to go to extremes.I would say if you do not like the kind of business you get or are transacting then work to increase your knowledge level.My typical commercial transaction is in the millions in purchase price.

I just put a simple and direct line "3/2 Single Family Residence with Large Yard in Historic Sailboat Bend" but 80% of other ads have:"OMG WONT LAST...""

Hello all at Bigger Pockets,My name is Mike Wever and I'm from Granger, Indiana just outside of South Bend.

It also depends on the type of buyer - some people will expect their agent to bend over backwards, while others couldn't care less if the agent offers to chauffeur them around or not.

I see signs on the machines "Please don't use after 8PM, Thank you." and it seems to work out.Dog stuff - I tell them, just like parking, I'd appreciate it if you guys could work it out, otherwise the Attorney said: to avoid any chance of violence we'll have to remove all the dogs (or stop parking on site).I bend over backwards for these Tenants, they all have my cell and can call 24/7, even for a lockout.
