Your experience reminds me to manage the portfolio well (i.e. sell losers) and to be patient. 

Understand that they all have an incentive to sell you a property.

Not if you buy the worst lot with the slowest selling model.

I think partially because a lot of folks don’t even check it.If you’re interested in getting more off market deals I would suggest starting relationships with brokers that sell the types of properties you’re interested in.

Have you thought about selling?" 

I'm not familiar with your market, but here are some thoughts:750 Sq ft is small for a 3/1.Interior looks like a flip but it seems like it has been owned by the sellers for a long time...so maybe not.They have been trying to sell this property for 6 months and have reduced price. 

A lot of people are sitting tight in homes they bought from 2017-2022 so I would be curious if we'll see those people sell and move. 

If you are selling, definitely.

Ask questions to find out about their reasons for selling, desired next steps (i.e. relocation, 1031 exchange, etc.), and anything else that is important to them.Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper and learn more (without being too intrusive) then jot down any relevant notes so that you can reference them down the line during your follow-up calls.

Selling and buying something else you want keep and doing a cost seg in would help with the tax burden probably better in this situation.
