I tip my hat off to those who come back with facts.

I’m assuming a seller justify whatever number they pick in there own way (how much they think it’s worth, picking a number out of a hat, how much they potentially owe, etc) but as a buyer I would like to make sure I’m covered.

Don't go to useless real estate seminars.Get involved and understand creative financing - tax sales - and the court house system of finding really motivated sellers.Have fun - be yourself - make full disclosures - learn from professionals in this business - don't hang with know nothing people (Big Hat and No Cattle).I'd love to write another 5,000 more words n this subject to help you - but start now with these words  - be positive and deal with professional in this business.

Using facebook advertising I can spend about 20$ in ads for some of my premier listings and direct book guests at a much higher nightly rate than normal... 20$ is a drop in the hat at this point.

Now that I am using my Brokers license, I see there is so much you professional managers are doing, my hat goes off to you, seriously.   

All true hat we stateContact the selling agent and put in an all cash offer Next day call agent asking if they have heard back, of course they have not.  

I think this is the most current West Monroe post here on BP, so I just wanted to throw my hat on the porch.

@Mia Trasolini May I throw my hat in the ring?!

Hats off to you that you have found properties that are mapped into the high risk but shouldn't be, on the flip side I see many properties that should be in high-risk flood zones but are mapped out because of political pressures (most of Houston, most of Sacramento, most of Virginia Beach, and New Orleans), if you are buying properties in these areas really consider the risk whether or not the requirement because property is in a high-risk flood zone.

New tax rate will bring down to 20% for LLC so it's a good thing but the price is high so wanted to see if it's better to hold my hat and learn more till we have the down cycle.
