Much like a mailed check/money order is "paid" when it is post marked as it isn't the tenant fault if 1st class mail takes 3 weeks (which actually happens sometimes!).

Hi @Alex Bockey I know this is an older thread (wow..we’re talking about a post from around 7 years ago!)

Hey Jerryll,Apologies as well, to clarify my post, the property is currently still with the owner (off-market) and I reference the information on the MLS since it is the information that's currently available to the public, so just providing a frame of reference to support the info in my post.

If you're expecting property owners to sell their home to you at a discount, you'll need to earn their trust - whether that be by demonstrating a successful track record with purchasing/selling similar deals OR by meeting them face to face and separating yourself from the dozens of local investors and realtors.Lastly, I'd recommend searching past posts related to this topic as well as checking out books related to your target investment strategies.All the best!

I’d be interested in keeping up with this post.

That's the same chart/data I posted above.

The purpose of the post was to find another resource for property insurance (i.e., agent).

If you aren't comfortable posting your experience, please PM me.

I think your question should be posted into a few of the F.I.R.E community groups too.
