I'm making my second ever offer on a property tomorrow and would like to hear from pro wholesalers, what are some things you say to sellers to absolutely get the contract signed. the property has good curb appeal great block, needs some work on the roof, plumbing, and electrical, floors, and updated kitchen, and windows.

Jacking the house up, installing new footings and cement block.  

We're looking at picking up a place that's occupied by a tenant who is kind of a pain.

@Robert Fisher  well I own 4 acres in Rohnert Park I hope it continues to go up up up.HWY 101 is the stumbling block I believe to much of this.. the voters of Sonoma county turned down bond issues in the late 80's to widen the freeway to 3 and 4 lanes.. the no growthers said it would spur growth.. well the growth came any way and the freeways are a mess. 

.), and your risk tolerance.I have friends who are very comfortable buying in North Omaha because they grew up there and they know the fine lines of the different neighborhoods where going a block in the wrong direction can mean risking your life.I personally will not invest in most of Northeast Omaha because I am not comfortable being there after dark, and I am not interested in taking the risk. 

Indianapolis is difficult to navigate investment wise as neighborhoods change dramatically from block to block.

I pay by the hour, in 30 minute blocks.

that's a very good questionmy answer is many of the metric's folks use to decide what a good deal is and what is not, are very regionalized... whats a great metric in one market may not even be remotely possible in another.perfect example is the west coast buy and hold investor pulling their hair out trying to find a 2% deal.. and realizing they either don't exist or are so rare that you would be super lucky to find one.And those in other markets were the 2% rule props are on every block literally and they won't buy them unless they are at least that or much higher in some instances.So this puts investors in a paralysis mode not being able to buy ...

My new employer picking up some of the tab makes the loss of selling less painful.

The intention is to flip, but the dilemma whether to wait a year for a possibly higher ARV thanks to the apartments, and perhaps more comps closer to (or even on) Gallon St.. or just do it as soon as possible while the general market is still good.2) a vacant lot on Birnie St Ext, 3 blocks down from the Woodside Mill, which is supposedly slated to become apartments.
