More competition > more offers > more bidding wars driving higher prices. 

@Jay Hinrichs wouldn't eliminating Brokers decrease competition, and access to competitive offerings? 

Or, I’d have to get an extension of the closing date, which kinda defeats the purpose/competitive edge of a cash offer.

When it comes to choosing between a turnkey property and a fixer-upper using the BRRRR strategy, it really depends on various factors, including your market conditions and where you are in your investing journey.

Negotiations focused on highlighting the quick closing capabilities of Partner Driven, securing a competitive price of $605,000 and ensuring the deal’s success despite the highly competitive market.

Ultimately, STRs are like running a business and to be successful you want to distance yourself from the competition.  

Don't just look at their prices, also look at their services and compare them to the competition. 

We did look at brokenbow, beautiful area but it looks like there is a lot of competition there now.  

Quote from @Corey Gelineau: The inspection contingency is used to legally back out of a contract due to the property being in an unacceptable condition upon inspecting the property.

- Having minor maintenance taken care of at no cost - Regular cleanings and maintenance so small issues don't become big issues- A hands off tenant who never bothers the landlord- A property maintained in new condition because it's in the tenant's interestI used to do primarily rental arbitrage but shifted to STR/MTR property management.
