It’s all over the map.In general for nicer A-B properties over 200 units there are usually at lead 10-12 serious buyers competing.For smaller B-C properties it can be a couple dozen or more LOI and soft offers from people trying to wholesale depending on the market but usually only a 5 or 6 serious buyers make to best and final.I have found a deal or two with no competition but they are usually way overpriced and have been out for some time.What are you seeing?

When you find someone who fits, get a soft commitment so you have an idea of what their participation level will be.

I had B of A do that to me once in the past.Most creditors also monitor your credit reports through "soft pulls", so a change of address could show up there as well.

And if you are not a "people" person it will be really hard to make it in this business long-term, because whether you are managing tenants, contractors, property managers, brokers, or employees, this is a business that requires constant interaction with others.Aside from that, even the hard-asses have soft spots and lines that they let people cross.

You hire a guy, tell him to paint and he uses a 9 inch roller (should be 18 inches) and a 2 inch brush (should be 3 inches).

I concentrate on one line that has the soft close etc.

Otherwise, it will turn away most tenants.Now, if you have 1,000 people trying to see the unit on the first day, then a soft application process help to weed out some people.

Write that list in Sharpie on your bathroom mirror so you have to look at it every day when you brush your teeth.

I still need a little brush up on evaluating a owner occupied deal as well to make sure we don't simply go off how it looks, but since we will have to live there for a while would you recommend looking for a fixer upper.

However, lawn was not mowed (as requested) because they think the lawn was too soft after placing the new sods on some spots, and some of the Window sills were patched but did not painted.
