My second house was under contract before it was even listed, but the combination of my GC disappearing and having to restart the permitting process for the carport in March right at the start of Corona lock downs dragged that out and eventually feel out of contract.

Sometimes they'll have gurus come thru that charge more for a full day class or more extensive training.I've posted before some lists of area meetups...each has a little different twist and following. 

Personally I was not stoked on the engagement fee and on that particular project, the listing agent (who promised to notify us if anyone else was kicking the tires on the lots) sold one of them and the project didn't make sense at the new number or units. 

And, FMV on 1/6/25 is not FMV today because now you don't have a lot in an established neighborhood, you have a lot in a disaster area which comes with the challenges I listed above.We built about three dozen "fire lot" homes after our fire--all lots acquired off MLS or from owners that came to us (we didn't market for lots), and not at a price that anyone would call a "discount". 

Initially, I had listed it and found a buyer, but the deal fell through when the buyer had to back out.

This was something I was intrigued about and the post jumped back to the top of the list when you asked yours. 

A squatter can see it's listed for rent with a sign or without so I don't think that'd be a huge concern.

They originally listed at 500k. 

I’m considering a 20-unit multifamily property listed at $1.6M, but the seller has indicated they’re willing to accept $1.25M.

Somewhere in her lease agreement, there should be a list of what comes with the rental lot.
