From this you can see that debt free properties of any significant value are probably earning no real return since the value of your equity is eating all the income.This is a ultra conservative approach to real estate investing that in reality earns very low ROI.  

Interested to hear your thoughts... how are you adjusting your approach/strategy into 2019?

How do i pitch it to potential patners that i will approach?

If it's an MLS listing, it will be handled through the agent.I think the best way is through a multi-pronged approach. 

I'd approach it from the angle that your insurance requires you to have the names of every guest, and unauthorized guests are not permitted for that reason.  

There are a ton of other flips that are hitting the market and should help my comp.Working backward - I like to take a conservative approach to numbers.170*.7 = 119,000170*.75 = 127,500I have 76k in the property and need a reno of 43-51k.

I have been marketing his off-market properties for over a year.SCENARIO #2 - Major seller/broker approaches me and wants me to sign NDA / CA as principal buyer.

It has been a few days since we submitted the offer and are approaching the deadline we also put in on the offer.Does anyone know if they sometimes take a few days to get back (most likely waiting for other offers) or if they simply do wish to accept our offer or if there actually is other offers. 

I might approach it in this manner “We were thinking of selling at some point in the future, but have decided to sell as soon as your lease term is up.

I basically require validation of strategy and suggestion of improvements or  viable alternative approaches.
