I don't know how to reach them other than the MLS but Of course there are people who want colonial style homes.

Your ALL in cost is only a cup of coffee.I am currently flipping homes in Orange County and teach others how to do so as well.

For example, the money I earn from teaching dance lessons can pay for new headshots, so on and so forth.Once I've met this goal I'd like to continue to invest in my eventual retirement, future family plans and the like.I've factored several costs of living into my cash goal, including average rent, food, insurance, and emergency funds, and I need to guild up my passive income quite a bit. $3300/mo.It's hefty.

After teaching abroad/travelling for a few years, I'm now settling in Seattle (Lake Forest Park).

@Shane RonayI will make this simple if it a small deal under a million dollars (non commercial less then 4 Units)then the buyer will just give you the fee in cash ....... the market is that hot and everything is bought in cash anyway.If it is a large deal NYC style then they will just do a reassignment. 

Most communities don't want the turn-style units with strangers coming and going on a weekly basis.   

San Pedro is doing a $100M redevelopment project to do a Pike Place style public market.

These numbers have been adjusted to fit my conservative style when doing this.

We have recently done two bathroom remodels in two rentals using this tile from Lowes around the tub:https://www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Selections-Blairloc...Love it; it's large enough that two pieces side by side covers across the back; goes on quickly and looks great.Used Allure vinyl planking for the flooring instead of tile.Gail

And the standards evolve over time.In neighboring Santa Clara County (California), it has been 3% as long as I have been involved (20 years)Here in Santa Cruz County, the standard used to be 1% upon acceptance of the offer and increase the deposit when the first contingency is removed to 3%.I write "used to be", because at some time between 2007 (when I did my last contract with the 1% increased to 3% deposit) and 2012, agents in Santa Cruz adopted the Santa Clara style of full 3% upon contract acceptance.I suspect that your agent calculated 3% = $3000 and change, and he rounded it up to $4000, to show financial strength.That can make a difference.I recall writing an offer in 2012 on a fixer upper that was listed for $540k (worth $800k after $100k repairs).
