I have a property under contact in Charlotte that I'm assigning to a cash buyer & he's going to see the property today & I'm not in Charlotte today.

Many sites do syndicate MLS data, but it's much more robust for active listings and a large fail for closed statistics.

:D After reading a few of Brandon Turner's suggestions it sounds like I need to connect with buyers in the area and really get to know their preferences, buy boxes, contracts etc. 

If they failed to state this in the contract, then I recommend you send a written demand for a copy of the original invoice.

That way when rates come down, I can refi and not have to deal with so many other buyers entering the market.

@Josh Milewski Yeah, or ask the landlord to be up front with the tenant.....or something else - like have the landlord tell the renters that he was having an agent stop by to write up a BPO - which is different than having a prospective buyer come snooping around.

Add an additional two months for the contract to fall through due to buyer trying to negotiate like they are on the cast of Pawn Stars. 

The thinking with the institutions is that you're not doing as much as you would on a $5M-$10M transaction as the sellers and buyers typically already know eachother, have teams to underwrite the properties, and have attorneys to handle the contracts.

For all sides, even the buyers. 

The borrower was elderly, and the investment would tank if this exit strategy failed.
