buyers are liars  sellers are liars.. you used him for information he sends you one text you found weird and then you buy through another agent.. if i was that agent I would just erase you from my contacts your totally reading way to much into things and assumptions etc.But like my dad said when we owned our brokerages and some agents are just flat jerks and some are sweet as can by and everything in the middle.. my dad said just put a $ sign on them.. if they bring you dollars who cares dont take it personal.I just close a deal yesterday with a wholesale company that I totally flamed here on BP because of rotten deals in Texas but i used them in another market since they brought me the highest price.. 

I ask because I found a house that's selling for 100k less than tax assessed value (MLS, normal house, great condition) and am wondering if I'm most likely walking into a sweet equity deal, or if there's some more nuance y'all have fun into.

Purchase price: $299,800 Cash invested: $75,000 Got a sweet deal on a townhouse in Parker, CO!

Since appreciation isn't a sure thing, you need to stack the deck in your favor that you'll be a beneficiary of sweet, sweet SoCal appreciation.Good luck!

Since you can get at most 75% LTV (based on the appraisal) OR the full amount of cash you put into it up front (purchase price, rehab costs if they are on your closing docs from the initial purchase, and even closing costs from the purchase), you could say that the sweet spot for DF is if 75% of the appraised value is right around your total up front costs (given that you've included rehab!)

Would be pretty sweet tho.

@Jon L. sweet thank you!

Welcome @Janesly LafortuneIf those numbers are accurate (rehab, ARV) that's a pretty sweet deal.

What cities (or areas within the city) have you seen hit a nice sweet spot between cashflow and natural appreciation, and why do you think it's a good opportunity?

Wanted to know other strategies other wholesalers use to create more leads that are accurate, and also what margins percentage wise does a investor feel like its there sweet spot for a deal.
