On Facebook, negations had not been on price as the home owner would not budge, but the sale to get it sold at asking price with a incentive to hold off on final payment for 8 months, was the bargaining tool How did you finance this deal?

I own a construction company and my wife is a real estate agent so we have our feet wet but learning new tools for the toolbox.

Buy n hold has many variations to it; BRRRR is just one  tool in your tool box.

They're all tools to at least discuss with buyers.

I am self managing my first rental and have already entered a year contract with an online property management tool.

My partner paid for all the materials/tools. 

There’s a couple key differences but knowing how and when to use either one is an extra powerful tool in your tool belt. 

Finally, BP has various tools available to help you analyze your deals (rental, flips, wholesale, etc), feel free to use them: https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators Please let me know if I can help, and best of luck!

I will say this however, as with every tool in the bag, there is a time when it's right and the circumstances are such that working with the listing agent is indeed the best way to do it, but that's the exception and not the norm!

Automation is the most powerful tool businesses could harness and with so many platforms and technologies to leverage there are many ways to achieve a level of automation to streamline processes.
