However, I have offered two thingsA)  Higher deposit -  this way the owner's fears are alleviated somewhatB)  Property management - offer the owner that you will essentially property manage the property for them.     

Furnished mid-term rentals can definitely pull in higher rents, particularly with traveling nurses, corporate tenants, or relocators.

The lot size, the pool, and the quiet cul-de-sac location provided great bones, and with the right upgrades and modern touches, it could command a much higher price in the competitive Hamptons market.

@Chinku Chinku the rich get rich by making their money work for them.They borrow at one rate, to invest in something that returns a higher rate - they profit on the difference.Only you can evaluate your risk tolerence though.

@Loren Souers I'd have to run the specific scenarios with the rates and fees, but if you're OK with paying the higher closing costs, the Mortgage 1 deal looks good, particularly if you focus on CoC returns.

I price higher far out and bring my prices closer to market as dates get closer.  

In our still relatively limited experience, seller financiers are usually looking to get a higher asking price in exchange for the favor of the private loan. 

Most 1-4 unit real estate investors are using DSCR loans right now for any buy and holds while flippers lean on higher leverage bridge/fix and flip loan options with higher interest rates.

At the time, just about everything was going for much higher price per square foot and with multiple offers.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.
