These markets are attractive because of their diverse, resilient economies, lower priced homes, and stable home price appreciation.

Now with the NAR settlement, all buyer commissions are negotiable in the contract. 

Here’s the winning formula successful local house buyers and wholesalers use to connect with sellers, close deals, and create win-win solutions:Be Relentless: Show up every day with positivity and persistence.

Buyers usually want to purchase on today’s value while sellers often want to use future potential of the property (“current rents are below market” or “room to build an additional property”, etc) to increase the purchase price or likelihood of a sale.

In the buyer line we would always write "*entity name* and/or assignees".

Were obviously “reverse engineered” to find a way to “back into” an attractive or at least acceptable cap rate3.

@Craig Holland Land is often sold with owner financing, in part because buyers have a hard time financing it, and in part because buyers often only need a short time before they can build on the land and refinance out of the seller loan. 

In a market like this where properties are sitting a bit longer, buyer demand is kind of stagnant, many appraisals have been coming in lower than anticipated.

(if the buyer wants a more solid commitment)Once a buyer has spent money they are somewhat vested in buying the property and that gives additional negotiating power to the seller.

Also, I am assuming since you house hacked that you only did 5% down, which then increases your mortgage payments compared to 25% down buyers.
