@Tayvion Payton   -  my guess is that you are still too far off the price, at least in the interim but it is always good to put in an offer, because they may come back to you down the road. 

My company has been offering furnishing and design services since 2018 in this field and I've never heard of them before.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

I told the couple that I got an offer for $1,700 but wanted to ultimately rent to them but need the income.

You might want to check out listings in your neighborhood to get an idea of the going rates and what amenities other hosts are offering.

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!

Quote from @Benjamin Sanders: Hi all,My wife and I made a last-minute offer on a rental property in New Albany that is in a flood plain.

I work specifically with investors and market for run-down properties that I am able to offer to investors I work with exclusively, on top of the properties that are available on the MLS.

What value did you offer agents to make the relationship mutually beneficial?

Engaging with fellow investors at networking events and online forums can offer helpful guidance.Good luck!
