So why would they go skinny to win your business? 

Whether it’s Christmas morning or a regular weekday, acting quickly can be the difference between closing a deal and losing it to someone else.The holidays often feel like a time to slow down and relax, but in real estate, urgency wins.

For Neal it may be win-loss of 50-50 or 60-40, both not bad on average for funds. 

The fact that you got an owner to chat with you about it is a big win.

And if the deal itself isn’t solid, no contractor can turn it into a win. 

And maybe it's not all or nothing for a given method, sometimes a combination of various financing tools is what wins.

@Preethi S. why would the PMC give you $4k, especially when they know, as an attorney has already told you, you are unlikely to win in court?

It seems like a win-win: tenants benefit financially, and landlords strengthen tenant relationships while making their properties more appealing. 

Yes we were successful winning bidding wars 3 months ago using the family postcard technique;) Basically, we added a cute picture of our family along with our offers (which were based on conventional financing) and our “humanity” made us win over the cash offers.

We hope to create a win-win-win scenario for all involved and it's always a learning lesson when that doesn't happen.
