This is also partly why it has gone from 9 cents in 2009 to 9k today.

Turnkey companies usually handle buying and renovating the property, then partner with a local third-party management company to handle day-to-day operations.

Leads that seem dead today might turn into gold tomorrow.

You may end up with a little more vacancy today because you stuck to your guns but if your criteria are solid you will have better overall results in the long run and investing is for the long haul.

I also tried to listen to today's 9 to 5 live presentation.

I no longer live there but come back as needed (like later today for my North Shore property).

It's hard to stay that today. 

Likely, these off market properties will move fast so being fast is key.

Assuming your buyer has good credit, putting 20% down etc buying down to 5.25% today would cost 4-4.5 points, so 800k loan that would be 32k-40k from someone, and if you are offering that buy down that someone would be you. 

Just confirm everyone’s ready for a quicker timeline and that any financing or paperwork can keep pace.
