If you need a reliable roofing contact, let me know—I’d be happy to recommend someone.Your agent should have negotiated a clear possession date that accounts for the seller needing extra time to move.

If you buy an outdated smaller 2bd/1ba home for $150,000 in an area where remodeled 3bd/2ba homes are selling for $300,000, and you know it will cost $50,000 to update the home and add an extra bedroom and bathroom, you can be relatively sure you will be able to recoup your investment. 

I assume that with the overage from the renovation, it probably ate into any extra contingency fund?

We also commit to going to our STR every 4-6 weeks and checking in, it is an extra cost but has bore fruit for us.

If I sold, I could be debt-free and have extra money each month to invest elsewhere.

This approach works well for wholesalers who sell deals to flippers, and flippers or realtors can benefit even more by taking the extra step to generate their own off-market leads.No one said methods like cold calling, direct mail, or Facebook/Google ads won’t help a realtor find off-market opportunities.Just a friendly thought, especially given the high costs associated with Zillow leads.

This market calls for patience and perhaps a little extra negotiation savvy, but for those who lean in, it’s packed with potential.Sellers, hang tight!

Basically my Seller just needed $6K more because a Buyer's Agent wanted to get paid an extra $2K. 

Like if would be the same thing as then paying us monthly and we just have extra assurance that the money is there?

So if he finishes X days earlier, than you pay him an extra $X.
