If your a flipper I would limit the exposure to number of simultaneous flips going on at the same time.This all depends on if your buying cash or getting a mortgage.I personally took the money I was going to buy a property with and I bought gold 1oz maple leafs and 1oz silver eagles.

Your specific market may vary I would consider calling some top producing agents in your agent to get their pulse on the market through their eyes as they probably have a eagle eye view on things right now.

I own 3 properties in eagle-vail, and 4 in Avon.

I swear you'll eliminate 90% of the competition this way, and by meeting face-to-face it's only a matter of time before you get in front of the right person and find the perfect deal.I know it's not as easy as having the property show up on your doorstep on a silver platter, but that extra work will easily pay huge dividends if you make the investment.

Keep an eagle eye on the property at this point.

Do you remember $52 silver?

I believe Eagle Land Title does them as well.  

If you know the address and its in northern NJ I have a roofer that will charge you $30 to utilize Eagle View and he can give you an estimate in minutes.

Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clods of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Either your realtor has a real silver tongue or the seller can't wait to unload - or maybe they just way over priced in the first place.I don't know your market but a quick search on Harleyville, PA rental shows much higher rates.
