@Aaron Knoll  yes and noYes because it's a total seller's market right now.No because there are deals out there, it's just harder to get them now compared to a few years back - and No because while we are certainly not immune to the drastic swings in the market, the swing isn't quite as drastic here.I feel like there are a couple factors at play (this is by no means scientific, just my gut feeling of what I'm seeing out there now):Because it's a seller's market, IF (and that's a big IF) a property is priced correctly, there's no reason a seller should take a low-ball offer from an investor when there's a pretty good chance an owner occupier will come by and offer 95-97% of list.

@Dawn Young Is the extra body in the property causing problems?  

I'm guessing that you tried posting a link to a website or email in the body of your post?

I had no idea there was actually a certification body for this type of work.

Ryan, I purchased a class C condo in a solid B area, it smelled like there had been a dead body in there when I purchased it.

Just like you are doing with the flips, except you are re-accessing those funds by refi...instead of flips.Kind of like you have built 3 assembly lines spitting out engines, bodies and interiors.  

BTW Craigslist will make you change around the ad's body.  

Maybe you would like to offer some thoughts on the matter.As to the MLS or agents giving up their data it is already done albeit not openly or willingly, and I am involved in a web project to make it available first to members and then when it comes out of beta it will go to the public.Information should be free and flow like water.This attempt to hold back information is short sighted on the part of NAR, CAR and the rest and is completely unsustainable as we will all see shortly.The advent of the broker/agent owned MLS's was the death knell for this concept but the body doesn't stink enough yet so many doubt that it is dead.Because of this current ..whatever we are calling it.. crisis I am finding more and more people ready to talk about alternatives to the current status quo.And just so you will know I don't feel bum kicked at all.

I believe duplexes must just be performing pretty well and no body wants to get rid of them. 

You will need to write the ad differently...the title and the body to help keep this from happening.
