If you offer too high based off the value and the repairs then you're just going to spin your wheels and ultimately waste both your time and the seller's time

@Nick Burns  this seems to be a common theme on BP these days.. those finding deals with no way to finance them.My suggestion for whatever its worth.. if you have no capital spend your energy finding capital then go shopping.. you spin a lot of wheels and get excited only to not be able to pull the trigger.I know some say if the deal is good the money will find you.. but for me..

You can spin it as "Im marketing the contract, not the property", but without the property, the contract has no value.

@Mike Lettko Your head is spinning now.

Sellers are good at spinning tales that seem reasonable Dont fall for it.

Back of the envelope math says you should probably at least have 600k in equity after closing costs/ REALTOR fees, so to only be spinning off 21k a year here, without any maintenance/ vacancy/ capex/ flood costs/ risks included is a 3% cash on equity return.

If you don't select a niche, you'll spin around in circles trying to do a little of everything and not mastering anything.

Turn off the water at the house and then turn it back on at the street and I bet you see the meter start spinning.

They’re several places I’m losing energy like the windows and the ceilings where there is lack of insulation however not enough to warrant an $80 gas bill BGE says it’s on my end and the gas is pulling from somewhere The contractors seems to think it’s the meter sometimes it just spins and spins but BGE says the meter is the new version..

Basically spinning the meter backwards.
