." :-)I'd be delighted to hear how to be more efficient in finding deals.Thanks for the feedback!

Joe I see this as highly regional.. when we were flipping in Dallas almost all appraisals came in low and we had to negotiate.. it was frustrating and since the homes were FHA buyers they no had any more money to make up the delta.. and with the uber high tax's there you just have to let them go and make less or break even on the flip.. we just were not efficient enough to compete there.In Oregon and Charleston were we do true NEW construction for retail in the 450 to 2 million price points.. we have not had one appraisal come in low.. they come in at our sales number.. and this last community we built.. the exact same house we built the year before on the same size lots we sold for 75k more.. and they still appraised.. that's good appraisers keeping up with rising markets.. in Texas it was not that way the appraiser were not tracking the rising market like they should have.For the average homeowner to use this strategy could lead to some frustration of making offers paying for inspections and appraisals and then trying to negotiate down only to have a sale fail and be out 1k or more and the time involved..

On the expense side, multifamily is just a lot more efficient if done right.

I was back home in India and I made my offer based on 2 reasons. 1- I had a good team, both the agent and the PM are efficient and highly capable and 2 - numbers worked.I'd freak out only if you didn't have a decent team to work with.

Way less efficient.

I do not find it very efficient to invest in rentals in this CA crazy market.

Use PayPal, Square or Stripe to create simple services or products for your repeat customers.Use WiFi smart locks for ease and efficiency.

RE is not an efficient market, even in our hot Denver market.

I'm tech-savy and enjoy utilizing it to make things more efficient.

More so looking to be aore efficient manager.
