So understand that while you can get a good deal, you are accepting a lot of risk by 'playing the game'.Finally - know that just because an auction lists a price - that is seldom the price something will sell for.  

Not just the top  97%, but even the .2-3% are finding this hard to accept.

They accepted & I partnered with my broker owner at the time who was/is a very seasoned investor doing all kinds of fix & flips.

Most of the homes I've represented here recently have been new builds, and I currently view the margins on rehabbing off-market or wholesale deals as too risky in my market.What has really made me consider the Flip System is my own experience of making offers on 5-6 homes — each over the asking price — only to find myself among many bidders and ultimately seeing another offer accepted.

I can't believe that NY real estate interests are content to sit back and just accept it?

I'm both an investor as well and as an investor, i'm exclusively looking at 1 year and 3 year options for PPP.

I try to have a plan A, B, and C in place with tight acceptance and contingency periods. 

The day my property closed I made 3 offers with obviously strong down payments (from my exchange.) 2 countered and one accepted, so I went with the accepted offer.

Just accepted. 

Or is this basically a guaranteed way to not get an offer accepted?
