@Mitchel Gendelman Agents enter what's called an agency relationship...there is a lot to it, but they are the sellers agent and run point on the listing...meaning you getting to the seller directly will cause a stir...odds are the agent will run interference at every level...and if you do get through to the seller, you're likely going to get a "talk to my agent" reply.How does speaking with the seller benefit you in this situation?...

Hey @Robert Mitchell -- how many flips have you done and what did the numbers look like on those (purchase price, rehab budget, and ARV)?
