For instance, lenders in SC can offer a downpayment assistance (and a related first responder/veteran loan) program through SC Housing Authority.

Make vacating the unit a condition to close in your offer.

Hello everyone,I am about to start writing out offers and I wanted to know the general opinion on how to find proper comps in the area when calculating ARV.

More buyers=more offers. 

I can’t say I came up with the idea, I saw a landlord with more units than I have post that they offered the holiday discount, bug only to their tenants who had made all their rent payments on time and in full over the course of the year.

My pleasure @Scott Rankin, looking forward to bringing everyone together to speak about some of the challenges that @Mark Miles brought up along with all the terrific benefits of investing in smaller markets has to offer. 

If you want detailed feedback, post a link to the listing on zillow or your local mls so people can see what you are offering. 

Then, having covered my base, I'd try to differentiate myself, by having the best located property, the best quality property (given the price of course) and offer the best experience.

Maybe offer them a discount of paying $400 and you waive the remainder.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Isn't that the truth! 

We could have held off for a higher offer as the market stayed strong.
