Direct negotiations with sellers can provide investors with a more advantageous position for a successful transaction, enabling them to circumvent the heightened competition and inflated prices often associated with these widely publicized listings.

Would it surprise anyone if Putin does something to heighten international tensions and thus push crude oil prices higher. 

Or the Seller has 65 family photos on the wall and their life's collection of collected trinkets displayed all over the place and decides to leave them there as they for some reason believe Buyers will find them just as interesting as they do.IMO, the biggest disavantage for the standard Seller is not the hypothetical 1-2 bad comps in the area, it is that they deal from more of a heightened emotional state in selling their home than an investor who deals with it as a biz decision.

I would love to see more CRE discussion too because I think it would heighten the quality of some of the threads.

The owner has shown heightened interest to sale it to me, and he was giving examples of me putting in an offer, he mentioned 290k lol even though he's asking 325k, so he sounds motivated to me.But I want to make the house a rental property, with me living downstairs and 3 roomates upstairs, can someone help me sort this out in my head, get me thinking down the right path?

This will cause panic to be heightened. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hell-coming-mathematical-proof-185019616.htmlSo I freaked out on Friday and asked for a massive price reduction or I will walk away.

I wouldn't take my kids out on the street for an afternoon of kickball but I have been out there by myself and never felt in danger but I always stay at a heightened state of awareness..  

I like to have tenants verify by initializing that the dectors are working upon move in and then that they are responsible and have been trained to check them, and to change batteries.Seems prudent and brings heightened awareness to avoid a tragedy.

Given the macroeconomic climate, I would expect cap rates to heighten in the next year or two.

Account ClosedWhat has heightened my greatness most is my deep, abiding humility...After struggling with it for decades, I have come to accept that I take after my father, and my father had many, many issues with his pride.
