It may be worth having an experienced professional helping you and you could always try to get the seller to pay your agent’s fees.

The seller's LLC pays capital gains tax and depreciation recapture, while the buyer's LLC uses the purchase price as the new cost basis.

If it’s verbal, they’ll need to document any prior communication or payment records to establish the relationship.If the PM is completely unresponsive, they may want to send a formal written demand for communication and payments via certified mail.

You magically get the seller to cover every single closing cost (A $12k gift, or a trick to get you to buy their problem.).

so are you doing this work for the seller for FREE.. ???

So Supply and demand have really shifted quickly. 

Or a seller finance calculator showing the monthly payment based on negotiated price, interest rate, down payment, etc.

It always comes down to understanding the seller(s), building rapport, and then coming to a win-win solution - we do a lot of creative deals, on & off market and each is always unique. 

@Andrae S Wiggins recommend you upgrade your BP membership to Pro to access the BP Calculators to evaluate rental purchases.Play with the numbers to figure out the purchase price that gives you your target ROI.That's the number you'll need to make an offer at, NOT what the seller is asking.Yes, you will get a lot of rejects, but whoever said investing was easy?

When you’re confident in your numbers, you can negotiate with clarity and avoid being swayed by emotions.Understand the Other Party’s MotivationEvery seller has a reason for selling.
