As a semi-remote buyer(buying/visiting in Philly, working remotely at myrtle beach), it is hard to compete on timing let alone a bidding war.

(The first was a brief shutdown during World War II when butter, sugar and cream were rationed and in short supply.)

I don't live in your market but I've discussed it numerous times with other investors.

Sellers often don’t know what to negotiate and what not to negotiate in the contract, or how to identify key differences between offers, or how to create a bidding war to fetch the maximum price without turning buyers away. 11.

Easy to sale hard to buy.It is a bidding war go in strong or go home, of course location and shape will amplify that.I see a small tiny house close to down town OP, Ks listing price is 125k agent thinks it will go around 150k, the rent could be around 1k.As I look all my rents on my SFH rentals are all on the low side.http://kcrar.com/Websites/kcra...

Any numerical thresholds or back of the envelope calculations you (or others) use? 

Hey Guys,As we all know that the Houston, Texas Real Estate Market is Super HOT right now with a lot of buyers but less inventory along with the bidding-war happening every day. 

You'll gain a lot of insight there and some real world war stories as to what has gone well and what hasn't.At a very high level, you're going to want to focus on NOI (net operating income).

I personally would not buy in Hamilton anymore, as it is over priced and there are too many bidding wars.

Built the war chest along the way.
