The most common and perhaps most accurate is the income approach.

Hi  I'm new here, and looking for some advice to get my foot in I'm interested in flipping houses, I'm just having trouble in how to approach a private lender

Honestly it took us about 7 or 8 months last year to find something, and we have been unable to find anything worth doing this year.Brrr and flips seem at best very tight, throw in incredibly large increases in property taxes and not many properties cash flow. 

very very very common approach.. but agents are not going to get a seller to lower price just because they are double ending.. what usually happens is if there are multiple offers agents being human.. will slant their double ended deal .it does not equate to you getting the agent to sell the property for 25% less than what it could sell for on the open market.. agent would get in big trouble.

My question, is how some of you approached this conundrum?

This for starters.....Wayne - This is incredibly helpful.

I wanna say its approaching analysis paralysis 

I've been listening to podcasts fiendishly and reading articles and forum posts, but have yet to buy an investment property.Just coming out of lurking to introduce myself.I'm leaning towards a BRRRR strategy for apartments, in and around Sacramento or out-of-state (Texas).Gathering up my funds and knowledge for now.Thanks for sharing al the incredible information!

Reckless appreciation or cash flow investors are not on BP learning prudent strategies; so, I don't dedicate much mind share to obvious unsuccessful approaches.

Just looking for advice on how to approach the bank, and the process, when we complete these upgrades Thanks and look forward to responses, Sheldon
