But for most buyers, the goal is to make your offer better than the other offers on the table, so you actually get the deal you are after.Look at it this way - Assume for the moment you are the seller, and you receive four offers:1.

So you have to evaluate your situation and make the decision whether real estate is the right move at the moment.

Randy Hey Randy,Thank you for the beautifully written response.

., yes, I've gotten lots of helpful advice and soothing here, but that doesn't take away from the beauty of what you wrote!

I mean if you go to buy a car and offer the dealer the advertised price , then someone else walks in at that moment, and says I want to buy the same car , the dealership doesn’t make you bid highest price! 

We cannot as we are out of country at the moment.

We fought for this for several reasons: 1. tourism is our main economy 2. there are an incredible amount of dilapidated homes that could be renovated and made beautiful if the investment return justified it (which STR in a beach town could) and 3.this is a family-friendly, lower-cost and now COVID friendly way to travel. 

Hi Matthew,I second the idea of skimming through the beautiful rabbit hole of Pinterest to get ideas and brainstorm.  

The lake's beautiful setting attracts tourists, making it a lucrative spot for STRs, especially during peak tourist seasons.STR operators in Oklahoma generally need to adhere to zoning laws, licensing requirements, and may be subject to taxes such as sales and lodging taxes.
