It shows how many searches have been in the past 12 months for a city and gives the price range of units in the area.If you choose to contact a hospital ask for HR or if they have someone who specifically works with traveling nurse placement. 

There was no chance of seller financing, and the cash investor price was too low for the sellers.  

@Kolin Goff I invest in Saint Louis too (South City) and I just sent you a PM with some info on cashing out prior to 12 months and I think you'll be surprised that pricing will stand up toe to toe with conventional without needing 12 months AND offer higher LTV on a duplex investment than conventional. 

Is the normal practice in wholesaling to analyze a deal -> find a buyer -> then offer the price to the seller and form agreement?

Assuming the area checks out, I’d rather buy in a high price area that has little to no cash flow rather than an area that has cash flow but lower price.  

The property price was only 100k so things were a lot more informal. send them a cancellation and see what happens.

You can take it or leave it as your 1800 is the list price. 

I do try and tweak pricing just so it sees that there is active updates on the listing sites.

Quote from @Jeffrey Bourque: ARV $350,000 - $400,000 3bd 1 bath 800sqft estimate rehab $70,000 purchase price $200,000What are your thoughts and should I do it? 

If this is your first real estate purchase I would stay away from auctions, there's too much risk involved especially with where price points are in your market.
