A german shepherd puppy requires a ton of exercise, they chew everything, and if the owner has a bad attitude already, its time to part ways.  

Good agents aren't going to ruin their reputation (very important in this business) to through hundreds of low ball offers or spend thousands of hours for a 60k property .

Be careful not to fall victim to a low ball price and contingency for change orders.

It's a different world from agents who sells SFH.Loopnet is where most of the "leftovers" goes - stuff that doesn't sell, odd-ball properties, etc. 

$$$s of dollars and headaches later, we were fortunate to have it done.I think the attorney and the inspector dropped the ball, but ultimately it is the investor who has to perform the due diligence.

If you pay high buy option for a property it will eventually be added to the basics after you exercise it, so does not matter.

The tenant usually has to put down a big deposit or down payment as well which they may forfeit if they don’t exercise their right to purchase at the end of the lease.

You negotiate around no restrictions on the cash back or equilivant drop in asking.It will potentially become the primary point of negotiations and distract the buyer from a simple low ball offer (hopefully).

I did the exercise with a commercial loan that I have and it's nothing to get too excited about :-)  Still, it's better than the bank checking account.Anyway, another way to skin the cat is to look at RoE (return on equity). 

Its good exercise for me, its good for the dogs, and is great for finding leads.I think it still can work, but will vary depending on the area.
