The attic was too narrow for me to navigate around with so many other things around that I could not dare to inspect and validate the issue myself. 

There was some forum debate on the effect lower mortgage rates would have on buyers in marketplace, but there wasn't much discussion on inventory and sellers.If rates drop enough, likely to low 5%'s (or dare I say) a high 4% handle, there could be a sizable increase in inventory as a result of seller's selling. 

., then your definition of "off market" differs greatly from mine (and I dare say @Donnell Evans who didn't sound like an idiot at all)...

While F&D are clear they don't want to own homes, they don't say it's a bad business - it's just not the business for them for the aforementioned reasons.  

Maybe the thing that matters most is they need post-occupancy so that they can comfortably sell their home and have the month to acquire and move into the new place...most retail buyers wouldn't dare offer post-occupancy, but you as an Investor can and just collect the rent back that extra month...The point is, in your market, how else can you get creative with your offer outside of purchase price to get more deals won?

Dare I say it's better than a Snowball? 

How dare I open an account to try to remind members of your elite club that many of the people you are approaching are suffering and under a lot of distress while going through the process of losing a home.

How dare use "squares" follow rules and reg's.
