“Cash Offer in 24 Hours: Here’s How It Works!”

Quote from @Austin Jones: As a realtor focused on helping investors in the Richmond area, I’d love to offer some insights.

I new based on the sellers situation that if I offered cash, close in 10 days, that it would be an enticing offer.

Not sure I can offer any help, but if you need advice or direction, I'm happy to help if I can.

Sometimes, just offering to handle some basic admin work or help with marketing can get your foot in the door.If you’re not sure where to begin, you could take a quick online course to brush up on the tools or skills you think might be useful.

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

I be sure to offer nice weekly and monthly price discounts. 

The Outlook St deal offered a unique opportunity for a rapid turnaround with minimal investment.
