By working with motivated sellers, I’m able to secure below-market deals and pass those savings onto buyers.

Don't buy a 2br/1ba without a basement and no garage on a corner lot next to the scrap yard, just because it's cheap and the seller is motivated.

Agree , those are all incredibly important as is good property management and the ability to price the property correctly based on your competitors rates( dynamic pricing ) . 

Not sure if it had something more to do with pandemic response to move to lower priced areas or what the motivation was.

Jessica a whopping 2 post when people on BP attach someone like Linda its always because of some ulterior motive or a shill of just plain spite so anyone reading this should disregard Jessica's comments as not being valid etc..

The market has been crazy this decade in Lisbon area, and looks like a lot of agents jumped in just to intermediate a deal and take the commission.This is a big motivation for me to take the license and work for investors.My take on the research is:- idealista has every kind of deals (a lot of wholesalers)- imovirtual is a mix- casasapo more down to earth (not so good online platform)

Hey Trevor,Man, this situation sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’ve clearly done your due diligence on this property.

They’re often motivated to sell before construction begins due to noise, traffic, or potential rezoning.

I know many agents have been coached to use a scare tactic that in theory a seller could refuse to pay any buyer commission, but that is an incredibly remote possibility.
