It really varies by market, but I know that it is a common technique in seasonal markets to seek out MTR guests to get them through the off-season.I have also found that certain types of units don't work as well as STR. 

I am looking to canvass the Ontario BP community to see if anyone has recently completed a sandwich lease and if so have you had success with this technique?

I'm in a seasonal beach town, my rules will different but I think the techniques of figuring out how to meet the needs of the market apply.

I am considering putting an offer in of $70,000 and telling the realtor that this is my top dollar, but the offer stands, if and when the seller is actually ready to sell the property.There are several other properties (different numbers obviously) that I have considered doing this on.Does anyone use this technique?

It has been a GREAT resource for getting a general overview of investment strategies, techniques, markets, etc.

And lastly, using my Leveraged Analysis Technique I came up with to vet the properties...the rents were too d*mn high to pass it up!

This site has been useful in helping identify a number of tried and true marketing techniques.

I know I need to get offers out there so I've been marketing to probates and driving for dollars but I want to make more offers than these leads are providing.I really want to start making offers on REOs and HUDs but I don't have the money to buy and double close to re-sell them.I have read about using an LLC as the buyer then selling the LLC but I'm seeing more and more REOs asking for POF with the LLC as the account holder - which I don't have since I would be creating this LLC just to sell.I've been studying more with Land Trusts to simplify the exchange to the end buyer, but haven't found any info on using a Land Trust to make offers on REOs or HUDs.At this point, I'm at a lost for ideas on the best way to make offers on HUDs and REOs that will still give me a good chance to have my offers accepted AND make it easy to assign/sell to an end buyer without needing to double close.I hope someone has a great technique they are willing to share!

Does anyone have suggestions on which technique I should use to come to the wholesale value I should pay?

Any quick and dirty techniques during preliminary screening?
