I have been selling fine art and antiques while in college and have been fortunate enough to save $50,000 from doing so. 

Being right on the money comes with experience, practice and is art more than science.

(study the art of word pictures - many years ago I worked for the Dale Carnegie organization - they talked about the value of word pictures - how to put your prospect in that picture - showing him using and enjoying and benefiting from your proposal) Try it.I like to show sellers that even if they are not getting the up-front cash they expect, the owner financed mortgage and payments they are receiving don’t have to be passive – once the seller has trust in your seller financing proposal - reach your goals is possible - (ALWAYS PUT IT IN WRITING -don’t expect a verbal yes – melt everything down to writing and knowledge of answering seller’s objections – this is a crucial moment in your negotiations. – Take your time.

My boyfriend just reminded me our 2nd offer was $2500 OVER asking.Actually, my comments were geared to a listing agent that was uncooperative, lying about occupancy, they are pulling something or messed up, if you read the "Art of War" it's time to strike.Making a higher offer now puts them in a position of collecting other offers, you didn't accept their offer, you made another offer.

@Art Perkitny thanks for the map!

I love the art of the deal and transacting too much.I am glad you enjoy the property management aspect and welcome to Bigger Pockets!

I will give you my thought on this subject only.If you are going to pay someone to mentor you in the fine art of investing, make sure they have a history of success, TALK IS CHEAP, investigate, look at their portfolio, research their background, get proof that they are what they say they are, there are just too many con-artist out there that will tell you anything to get to your wallet!

The lender may also order a special report from a company that verifies rent, utility, phone and other payments.Read this article for more details https://www.nerdwallet.com/art...Good Luck!

The condo is literally across the street from Fort Lewis college (liberal arts college with student body of 4,000).
