I find that the best deals on the market are usually newly listed (less than a week on the market) and usually the deals that haven't sold have significant issues with them.What are the reasons that you think homes sit on the market for a long time and how do you navigate the issues to make a deal that works for you? 

Negative cash flow combined with historically slightly poor appreciation would lead ne to exit unless I had some reason to have confidence of appreciation above its historic rate.https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ok/yukon/real-estategood luck

One reason was the condo management company wasn't doing a great job and there were always extra levies. 

The reason to purchase a property through this process is the same today as when we started two decades ago. 

Since we are in FL it could be citrus, or some other local good we can get at a reasonable place. 

One of the reasons that they can do this is the builders that i have worked with are moving their product off market.There are definitely deals sill out there, in a number of markets, and there is also cash flow in deals out there. 

There are many reasons why I haven't pursued the arbitrage model, but mainly that it takes too long for the ROI after investing all your time and effort into buying furniture and renting and paying utilities.Let's say you rent an apartment for $1500 and you spend $7000 to furnished it.

I once heard that all arguments happen for one of the two reasons: either we call the same thing two different names, or we call two different things the same name.

Quote from @Dan Mcguire: One reason not to invest, is not to lose money.

The PM owns the listing, and for several important reasons.
