My method has always been to call every listing that hit 90 days on market in areas that I want to buy.

Uptick in action in the secondary mortgage markets I suppose?

I’m curious what markets you’ve invested in if you don’t mind sharing.

If not, who do you believe the natural buyer is and why do you believe they will pay retail when they can replicate what you accomplished with any number of available properties on the market at any given time?

Quote from @John Hu: First, look for market inefficiencies.

Exactly if its a hot deal cash just means you beat out the next guy who needs financing does not mean deep discount .. at least in markets were RE is sought after.

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.
