A “contract to hold” binder payment equal to a month’s rent would also be collected at that time.

I was envious of a friends big gorgeous fixers in Arkansas, and I reacted by over-renovating, holding on too long, getting over-leveraged and then 2008 happened and…well enough said.

On the plus side now I will have a recorded Certificate of Occupancy with the city, as this property will be a long term hold for me most likely.

We didn't buy much from the MLS and if we did, it was either a "handyman special" or it had been on the market 180+ days with a motivated seller willing to take less than market value.This will be the "new normal" going forward and a lot of newer investors will drop out of the acquisition market and just hold what they have.

This demographic is projected to keep increasing over time, so I would do whatever you can to hold onto this property (ie cash flow well).Furnishing 700 sqft with PB or West Elm (you and my wife would get along great, Bonnie) won't be price-prohibitive and well worth the cost.

You’re paying big money to target people who explicitly want to hold on to their homes, all in the hope of convincing them to sell.
