Apparently this was the favorite tactic. 

I was inclined to assume the delays in response were negotiation tactics but since the offer was accepted, there could possibly be something else wrong with the property.

Sometimes this tactic is used to encourage only serious buyers.

I did have to incur a bit of rehab cost (about $600 or so) as the feedback they provided was that there was an overpowering pet odor which had to be deep cleaned and lock changed.  

I coach this tactic and the key is in the list!!!  

If I were to map our all of the interconnections between customers and referrals in my service business over the past 10 years, it would look like one of those chaotic tactical FBI crime web boards from the movies where the lines crisscross too much to even track. 

So, we're lowering the expected rent to ($3.2k) and we're taking a new tactic with this property. 

Once I heard of a whole apartment building getting their rents reduced - a tactic the owners did to keep their buliding full during a bad economic turn.But, I'm a buy-and-hold type of person.

If they’re pushing some education about wholesaling or flipping houses it’s likely not worth the cost.Typical guru technique is high pressured sales tactic.

I was just hoping to see if anyone had any suggestions for tactics that I may use to recoup my money at a quicker rate.
