It's easy to be enticed by the many strategies that promise to make you the most money.  

Probably a noob thing - I do get enticed by the real estate wonder stories in the media.

The cheap buy didn't look that enticing.

Doesn't need to be huge, but large enough to entice them to wait to get paid until the place closes. 

It's enticing with seller financing, however just not enough room with an ARV of anything less than $490k.  

These seminars do a good job enticing folks in but leave out vital information.

I would like to spruce it up to attract higher-quality tenants, especially since several surrounding houses have recently been remodeled and look really nice--this property sticks out like a sore thumb--and there are some nice skyline views from two of the units that I think could entice some younger professional types (very short commute to downtown to boot).Anyway, how can I get rid of the current tenants so I can rent to new ones at higher rents?  

Do they offer above market price is for the land to further entice the owner of the land to actually consider the option?

For even more accuracy, we choose to only use comps that are 1/3 mile away or less, with sales dates within the last six months.Sometimes, even the street can make a difference in the value of a property.If the only comps you have are on very nice streets, but the house you’re considering is on a very “distressed” street, then you have to reduce the ARV.How much is an appropriate reduction is a judgment call on your part.You’ll want to base that call on how much of a discount will be necessary to entice the final owner/occupant to buy this property over one they can get on the “better” street.If the comparable sale that you are using is too different from the subject property, then it is of little value.If you use it in your sales marketing, you’ll lose credibility with your Investor Buyers.An example of a poor comparable is when your subject property is an old cottage fixer-upper, and you compare it to the sale of a brand new in-fill (an in-fill is a new house built on a vacant lot in an otherwise established neighborhood).Rehab dollars vary according to level and detail of the job – everyone has a different formula.As a wholesaler, we suggest a middle-of-the-road approach for estimating enough rehab dollars to get the subject property to look like the comps.You’ll need to spend more on rehab as the ARV increases.Logically,buyers like more ‘pretty-ness’, higher-end fixtures, cabinets, etc. when they’re paying $200,000 vs. when they’re only paying $100,000 for a house.Buy/Sell/Hold costs are all of the costs associated with:üThe purchase (loan origination fees, title insurance, attorney fees, survey, appraisals, etc);üThe sale (real estate agent commissions, marketing and advertising, closing costs paid by the Seller); and üHolding the property (mortgage interest, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc.).

I dont know how these properties would work for you, but they seem enticing. good luck!
