It's also good to speak to sellers if you can to get a meeting of the minds before going to much trouble, especially if you're making low ball offers. :)

But..how do you relate this to a seller who is trying to sell their property and not feel like they're being "low balled" by a lower than expected offer?

I think it's amazing that a guy like me that has no business being successful (as I never really had that role model to show me the ropes) can find not only the information, but experiences of other professionals, the finesse to get it done right, and the balls to be persistent...excuse my French!

Do not get the ball valve kits as those tend to not float right and will run up the water if the landlord pays.Just be advised that many tenants can't stand the low flow toilets.

Appreciation is like looking into a crystal ball.

Around here, the neighborhoods can go from stable to sketchy in a couple of blocks, so having some (somewhat) more precise data is helpful.

You're able to provide the seller with something a lot closer to the actual value of their home instead of low balling them the way you would when wholesaling.

My family owns a pretty substantial HVAC company, without seeing what needs to be done for each unit and what needs to be brought up to code on average youre going to pay 3-4k per unit, dont bite on the low ball quotes you will pay for it later on (trust me).

This is the second "big" what the frank curve ball WF has thrown us.It's not an FHA backed loan.

What is the next step towards getting the ball rolling?
