I put in cash offers quite often, but always get bid out.

., I'm not saying that you should not bid with a round number, though $2.00 on a 3/4 million dollar home is ridiculous, but when the deal is reached and before all is signed, simply adjust to a round number.This is about as narrow minded of an argument as one on wanting the qualification letter to match a lowball offer!

Calvin - interested bidding out on this project pm me more info.

Unless you are in a tight spot you’ll get “market value” when you have the largest market bidding on it.

Do you think building a nice website to outline all benefits of the lot size/location, nearby amenities, pretty pictures and video and a clean way to submit bids and stay in touch with me...would all that be overkill? 

The same thing in parts of L.A too that used to be “gang areas “ but now hipsters are getting into bidding wars over properties . https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Realtor-Hot-Spot-NYC-Realtor-Yelp-NYC-Rochester-Buffalo-450315393.htmlhttps://www.newyorkstatedestinations.com/explore-niagara/elmwood-village-hipster-hotspot/http://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/group-speaks-out-against-gentrification-in-the-queen-city/1083119084.

The general consensus was that for a 3/2 or 4/2 SFR home, 8k was fairly common while anything pushing 15-20k was not very common.The house I was interested in had a bid for 7500 but also 18k, so I'd be curious where the difference was.  

Even here, they sometimes demand a minimum bid, but sell some or most to the lowest bidder.

I actually had a client a few years back who had to go the buyer who out bid him for  a property and offer that person a sum to then sell to him so he could complete his exchange - ouch!

I just won a bid on my first mobile home park.
