Bidding wars pushing the prices up like crazy

There are numerous investors, agents, etc. on BiggerPockets with experience in CA who would be able to give you a better perspective on the types of investments that work there.WIth regards to RentToRetirement, I worked with Zach and his team for my first property, detailed in the link below.

Let me know if you ever want to share war stories.Originally posted by @Dustin Beam:Originally posted by @Adam Lacey:You've probably considered this, but...if you can increase your deal flow but still lack capital, you could consider wholesaling the ones you can't afford to take down.

There is an advantage to being first and not having to get into a bidding war over a property though, and an agent catering to investors will usually have some pre-market/off market deal flow.

Bidding wars are driving up prices and comps, so your property might sell for more than you thought it would once it hits the market.

I will leave you with this one thought, contractors and investors tend to be at war with each other quite often but much like everything in life, if both can understand what each one needs, the Investor a decent price and the contractor a job that pays enough to live off of, then a mutual relationship can be made for the best of everyone!

At least they both got to “win” the bidding war.

I was a tenant for 10+ years in numerous properties and learned real quick you rarely get a full deposit back.

In my area 200k S.F.H are a bidding war  most are  bidding  over 10 to 15K may be more of course the issues of the  home/location  will push the $ up and down .Market is RED hot !

Hello, I'm in the middle of a bidding WAR & I want to win!
