We stay in contact with this agent and I guess she made a couple of verbal offers for us after the agreement had expired. 

I initially offered $200K in cash, but the seller countered at $240K.

It’s not for everyone, but with the right team, an agent who knows the market, a solid property manager, and good contractor connections it can be a great way to your porfolio.For example, Cleveland is affordable, has strong rental demand, and offers solid cash flow.

Sellers have emotions, fears, and motivations—figure out what they need and structure your offer accordingly.4️⃣ YOU’RE FOCUSED ON THE WRONG THINGSIf you’re only thinking about your check, sellers will feel it—and they’ll shut down.Instead of worrying about your assignment fee, focus on solving the seller’s problem.✅ Are they facing foreclosure?

Originally posted for 100k over what the purchase price was I submitted an low offer and received a counter.

Some landlords offer a discount for early payment as an incentive, but I'm not sure that would be appropriate in this case.

@Andrew Self I would like to think that my company is the best and offers the lowest rates and closing costs, but perhaps I am bias.

Unless they are offering much more cash than you can get on the flip (After lowering the price), it doesn't make sense to take the risk and sell sub-to because most of these loans are not assumable and you will take on the risk of "due on sales clause"

@Stephen Akindona in our experience, the PMCs offering:- No Termination Fees- Tenant Replacement Guarantees- Eviction Guarantees- Flat Fee Management- Etc.only manage Class A & B+ properties, or bite off more than they can chew and their services suffer.

@Brady Ascheman - No, if you are not offering the guests services that add to their convenience then there is no SE tax.
