Were there any surprises or challenges during the bidding process?

But challenged  by this because I am new to this and wonder what  could I offer?

Challenges?

I challenged the company, suggesting that they can't possibly be making 2000 calls each day and speaking to ~200 prospects per day, generating only 3 leads in a span of 1 week.

So, tell a story of how you (or a fellow wholesaler) helped a seller out with their challenge(s).

Read through posts on BP and you will see some of the challenges people have had.

We are considering long term holds using the BRRRR method focusing on marekts that will be likely to appreciate to reach this goal but have also heard a flip in today's environment may be a better place to start. 

Here's your challenges:1) Owner is either lying about there being no leases, is totally incompetent or, the worst, is a slumlord trying to take advantage of tenants.--- Which means he's trying to take advantage of you!

My primary concern with two separate leases is that it would be extremely challenging for you to remove a tenant via eviction for any reason because technically it is one unit.My recommendation is to provide one master leases signed by both groups of occupants.

Probably any one of those 3 is a challenge for Section 8 recipients.add all 3 together and it will be near impossible.
