Final comment, it seems complex.  

To put a relatively extreme scenario out there, if you offer 3% more than the next guy in cash (no bank debt) and provided a copy of a brokerage account statement showing the cash was available, I am certain you would get the deal.To echo Joshua's comments: how you are planning on financing the deal is hugely contingent on being awarded deals.

I have seen some properties on MLS that I contact my realtor and they may know right away the reason it isn't selling from showing it previously, or they can review the realtor comments that aren't viewable by the public on MLS.Other potential reasons I have seen properties listed on MLS for a long time. 1) Some investors may not be comfortable inheriting existing tenants.2) It may be it is a class C neighborhood. 3) Structural issues.

@Chrissy Smyth, just a couple comments:1.

This is where I'm supposed to make the snarky comment of if a person has there nose high enough in the air of course they don't notice the hobo's all around em, lol. 

Your comment does bias me slightly in favor of Indy, since at least we're talking about a manageable car ride.That said, I'd love to know the biggest mistakes you've seen - how do neophytes typically "crash and burn?"

Any feedback or comments will be greatly appreciated.
