However, I'm also tired of it and want to pick up some more properties.I'm looking for any personal experiences anyone has had with this and some tips on how to be the winning offer more often than not (even if your offer is less than the competitor).Thanks

What are your current differentiators from your competitors?

You’d be surprised how many properties have been bought this way.As the bidding war drew to a close, my competitor started getting excited.

Because generally, whoever their tenant is will do better compared to their online only competitors. 

In most markets that I've purchased from them on the courthouse steps their properties are bid up much higher than their competitors.

Colony American Finance - We are competitors to First Key and B2R and have a similar product offering. 

Remember, if Charlotte is a great opportunity, your competitors will probably think the same thing.  

I am going to sell that boat in the driveway.. or back in the day you had the real Thieves the mod companies that would blanket the country ripping people off for 1 to 2k and promise help them but really do nothing but help them lose the house.. most based in FLA for obvious reasons. ( judgment proof state).So to be successful at this I finally learned I only went to homes were the sale was within 1 to 3 days.. at that point they realize they need to deal with me.. and most of my competitors did not have real cash they were newbie wanna bee's who needed to wholesale or use a HML.. so that knocked down the competition plus they did not have the connections at the title co I had were I could get title done on the phone in real time. so I knew exactly were I stood.. and then could get 20 to 50k cashiers check and run a courier in person up to Seattle to northwest trustee services and redeem the day before the auction. 

TV/internet service I can lower easily especially if a competitor has a teaser rate going on for a year! 

No, that's what most of your competitors are offering, or no inspections.
