@Marc Anthony refer them to a more desperate/patient/greenhorn agent and get 25% of the deal for doing basically nothing.

Because we desperately want and need these questions answered, and because of the basic "truth" of people paying more for more and less for less, and because we believe (mistakenly IMO) that appraisal is nothing more than math and therefore a mathematical solution must exist out there somewhere if we could only identify it, that it is in fact possible to answer these questions/valuation problems.

(I am assuming 20%/25% down and a traditional 30 year mortgage at investor rates.)We are at such a low point in inventory that anything - turn key or run down - that is priced anywhere close to value frequently gets bid up above value.Could you find an off market deal where a seller is desperate to sell? 

That means that if I'm burning up my limited time with an investor who wants to lowball offers that have a 1 in 500 chance of success, I've lost that time that I could have spent with clients who will actually buy or sell real estate.You might find a desperate rookie or semi-retired part-timer who will be happy for the "opportunity", but you're not going to get a good, professional Realtor.

This will allow you to learn the process and figure out your market while not being desperate to sell to cover your bills. 

That is when I realized, its my desperation to make it, my drive, my ego, and my impatience, which makes me grind my wheels too hard and make emotional decisions (rather can carefully studied ones), thereby leading to more failure.

It could be after this much time there are desperate and whatever i offer will be taken , but just hoping for some ideas to close this. 

OR should I take out a home equity line instead of having to sell. thnx for any help, feeling abit desperate as I am a senior and really need to down size.

It’s amazing how much info they then tell me about the desperation of the seller and what they’ll probably be willing to take for it.
