Yes, there may be some depreciation in certain markets in the next 6 - 24 months but overall when interest rates decrease buyers are going to flood the market and prices will increase again. 

Most wholesalers either do an open house to their list or send property's out to their best buyers first to keep them happy. 

The owner may not require the tenant association to prove financial ability to perform as a prerequisite to entering into a contract.A tenant association may exercise the right of first refusal in conjunction with a third party or by assigning those rights to any party, whether private or governmental.The timeline for closing is 120 calendar days for rental properties consisting of five or more dwelling units, and 60 calendar days of four or fewer dwelling units.If the tenant association fails to close, the owner may sell to a third-party purchaser.

It is a great strategy if you are a buyer/investor. 

Tell the agent if he brings you a buyer for $XXXX,you'll pay him comission.

Syracuse is poised to experience unprecedented growth, and though competing with other buyers is a pain right now, you have an advantage being right on the ground.

I put in an offer in a house after talk to the sellers agent she set the terms, we accepted all the terms them she add that the “seller” would not pay for the buyer commission (My wife is my agent, somehow she found out that).She asked for full price, no inspection, no contingencies?

The issue I often encounter with this line of thinking is that investors frequently fail to consult their lender about what is permissible.

You could charge a higher interest rate and negotiate the down payment that way you still get your money monthly & not worry about repairs etc. if the buyer defaults, you get the property back.
