Every deal has a challenge—whether it’s a seller with an unclear title, a property with zoning issues, or just finding the right buyer who actually sees the value.I’ve been navigating all of this while working on land and mobile home deals, and honestly, the problem-solving side of it is what keeps me hooked.

Going on the first face to face with a seller in years, even after getting 2 deals to the table, this one was tough.Stating the obvious, there is no replacing "the number" but I literally didn't have it in me to say it at that moment.

Following as I deal with STR in the lake region.

There are a bunch of investors from Calgary who are investing here as they find it more fertile grounds then there local market (So they tell me this)So the take home point is if you want to BRRRR in Winnipeg then you will find amazing deals with buildings that are burnt/plumbing/electrical work needed so you can get exempt from rent control and obtain the cash flow you want.

Or just pay your sister a finders fee for getting the deal?

Both of those could put an investor where you are today - unfortunately.I can tell you that I believe I've avoided these types of issues from happening on my deals because I joined coaching programs and had mentors.

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

you can still find good deals more west of the freeway in SLC or off market in SLC or south salt lake but they are harder to come by

There have been numerous people on BP talking about how they paid application fees but they could never get their loans closed on any deal brought to the company.
