@James Maaba congrats on your recent long term rental purchase, East Stroudsburg is in high demand!

I did some mobile home deals down there (4 total) and the change in immigration laws and the recurring storms has really dented the demand down there. 

The job market is strong due to major companies moving and developing here like Intel, Amazon, Google, etc. and there's a steady population growth and strong rental demand.

You aren't touching anything on the Roaring Fork for almost any price, no matter the square footage.Location is king, because location equals desirability, and desirability translates into more rental demand, and in some cases, substantially more.  

Ultimately, what drives real estate values is supply and demand and the income you can derive from those properties.

I’ve seen folks panic and act like they’re about to be stuck holding a ticking time bomb, but if you structure the contract properly, give yourself a decent inspection or feasibility period, and understand local investor demand, you’ll rarely end up empty-handed.

Virtually all banks and lenders are going to have a due on sale clause, meaning they can demand full payment if the seller tries to sell the property or assign the mortgage without their consent.

They almost always refuse to accept any offer form other than the Association of Realtor forms.I once had to scramble to find an agent to represent me on a time sensitive deal, but the agent demanded to view the property herself first before writing my offer.

It is important to look for locations with strong economic growth, rising demand for housing, employment, vacation and infrastructure developments, as well as properties that offer the potential for value appreciation or steady cash flow.

What makes you believe buyers will accept offers that are 30-50% below the list price when you are in a seller market with seemingly a lot of buyer demand.
