Nick S. most efficient way to weed out potential flip/rental properties

., no complete rehab), thought mls was the best route. interesting. 1 out of every 95-100 offers...interesting stat. 2 rejected offers on the same property, so a long way to go haha. it's very tiring to look at so many properties only to find maybe 1 that falls in your criteria and then only to get rejected. the waterfall of looking at properties to getting an offer accepted is demotivating when i take a step back and look at that conversion rate (i'm a digital marketer full time so i look at it from that perspective). thanks for the responses!
