There's a lot more competition than previous years, and prices are high.

They have different pricing... but I am wondering if someone used that for cold calling...

Quote from @Patricia Steiner: Price cheaper with cash sale? 

I predict that the substantial home price cost savings and greater control they enable the buyer to have will make them grow in popularity.

I am continuing to make payments on the existing mortgage from the payments received from my buyer, which I am assuming is a characteristic of a wrap-around mortgage where the seller acts as the financier for the difference between the existing mortgage and the sale price.

After winning the bid I had to provide 5% of the price as earnest money within 1 day of the seller countersigning the contract.

Asking price is $998,0002 duplex units on 1 acre in good location.It's been on the market for a while, so I believe we could offer slightly above $900,000 and be considered.I would increase the rent after updating each unit.

Purchase price: $839,000 Cash invested: $83,900Bought an up/down duplex 4 blocks south of Sloan Lake.

Purchase price: $189,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Mid-term rental property in a college town.

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
