The chance of winning is slim to nil.

We went in with what we hoped would be the winning offer because this is the one that checked the most boxes of everything we'd seen in months and we really like it.Am I even under contract for this property with everything in the address being wrong? 

To me that is a win but it may not seem like it to someone who is investing simply for cash flow.  

To win the STR game, especially if you're a new entrant, the most important aspects are 1) Amenities2) Location3) Property type4) UniquenessAll are geared toward you standing out on Airbnb/VRBOHot tubs, fire pit, bowling alley, pools etc. or being in the best location in an area as well as being to host a large group are all things to help you win.

If we build more, dense, "dormitory-style" housing or similar, we can more efficiently house people, bring down costs, and everybody wins. 

The fact that you got an owner to chat with you about it is a big win.

The right structure ensures a smooth, win-win partnership!

I aim to make win-win arrangements for both buyer and seller.

It’s not uncommon for new wholesalers to expect quick wins, but finding deals often takes time.

However, I think eventually Big Government will win unless Trump has something to say about it.
