So without you being prepared to make real offers, unfortunately your broker can't do much more for you.I would encourage you to continue with preparing your finances so that you can be ready to 1. jump in if this competing buyer backs out and the property comes back on-market, or 2. make offers on other deals.If you are finding off-market deals, I suppose you could take more time to prepare/get creative with financing.

It’s hard to tell how much it added but the brokers told me 50% of the indoor price monthly.

Each of these are going to have different things to look at that will make it a flop for one strategy but a money maker for another.2) Where are you looking?

And as you know - action takers are money makers!!!

BEING A PM IN THESE AREAS IS LIKE BEING A MAKER OF REVERSE HALLMARK CARD.
