i know theres different ways to send offer.i want to hear what creative idea you had use under your sleeve..

I love that you have the moxy to roll up your sleeves and live/work in your ideal acquisition! 

How can an agent demonstrate afterward that the seller had a buyer "under the sleeve" the entire time?

All said already; so fold your sleeves and get cracking!

I am also always willing to learn more so if you have a trick up your sleeve you want to share, PLEASE DO!!

To be competitive in this area, I had to roll up my sleeves.  

@Maya TorresHey MayaHate to say this but you're both losers in going this route (you and the sellers) if you pursue legal remedy here.My advice would be to learn from it, don't pay retail contractor prices for their work, and get ready to roll up your sleeves, be resourceful, and fix the issue!

Commercial real estate, core plus, 60% leverage2) Broadstone direct real estate access (BDREX): rock-bottom fees, three-tiered investment strategy (access to institutional funds that normally require $500,000-$5 million minimums to invest in, directly owned real estate, liquidity sleeve of public REITs)After this there are others that I would add to in smaller amounts, since they have more risk such as one of the Realty Mogul debt funds. 

And doing it right starts not just with the willingness to roll up your sleeves and dig into the hard work, but also taking the time to do your research, line up financing, and be willing to stick with what can sometimes be a tough turn around opportunity.Successful real estate investors will flip properties, even if they don’t set out to do it.

My strategy right now is to reach out to many realtors and have them look for me, I also have one or two property managers up my sleeve, trying to stay optimistic but can be discouraging..
