The shift in rate environment could also accelerate the luxury STR market as inventory is exceedingly low and jumbo rates have fallen precipitously. 

Just gotta be real with them :D Let them know you will try your best to have seller cover all of some of the closing costs.Can also always offer above asking price and ask for the difference as seller credits

Looking to do my first flip, was originally looking at baltimore, but it looks like it's moving towards a buyer's market and inventory is very high so I'm looking for other hot neighbors with low inventory.Thanks

We have submitted fair offers considering the condition of the property (sellers don't keep up with the maintenace and repair as they should, for a property that they are going to lose and get no money only some debt relief.) 

Following up with a seller lead for 4 years to lose the business to a family member2.

Pick a target market (only 1-2 markets when you're starting out). 

Does the market/appraised value of house affect it?
