Right now I am dealing with a DSCR lender that switched my client's product to a Bridge loan and gave him a very hard time when he asked for a copy of the appraisal.

In my market, I am advising investors to list slightly below the comps that we have since the last 2 months have been pretty slow here. 

Chances are they are not coming off the price, because your home inspector didn't agree or like it.That's the standard with production builders. 

I don't know the statistics behind Salt Lake, but I don't believe it is slowing down anytime soon.

Your deed of trust needs to be made by the trustee, or you didn't properly perfect the security interest, I'd bet on any attorney getting that right unless they were really new.Back to the other issue, any lender advertising a loan product and never closes that product can get nailed.

They will continue to demand more and threaten more.I'm in a slow eviction city as well, so I understand the fear of losing money for a long period.

Go to a construction site (production home builders--- Toll Brothers, Orleans, KHov) and find the carpet installer.

I'm a slow and steady wins the race investor that has little by little bought single family rentals (combo of long term, mid term, and short term). 

I also when things were hot before interest rate spikes I just followed what Lennar was doing. they had a flat fee of 5k.. which for thier product was basically 1% buyer agent fee.. my product was / is 700k plus so  I was just posting 9750.. flat fee and had no problem with agents bringing in buyers . 

Thats great that you pulled all the info, but what is going to keep sales slow is that current real estate prices are based on 3% interest rates.
