Locations with poor indicators will attract poor tenants and the quality of the tenant base is often more important than property you select itself.

I would say I have a talent for attracting and finding great tenants.

These areas are highly desirable and tend to attract wealthy residents who can afford to overpay to live in a prime location.

Hoping for good news and we'll do what we can to make it attractive to renters/buyers with lots of pictures, information and flexible tour times. 

@Erin Dorsey Robinson Yep, I see this as an opportunity for investors to firm up their personal balance sheets, build up a war chest of capital to deploy, and exercise patience in the short term (waiting for market fundamentals to erode in the intermediate term, and for deals to become more attractive) and exercise aggression in the long term (capitalizing on weakness in the market as sellers' expectations are forced to adjust). 

When that happens, the real estate agent can win a client for life. 1.Seller ContributionsOften misnamed "seller concessions" seller contributions are really a range of incentives or other financial offerings designed to make the deal more attractive and doable for a buyer.Seller contributions that make a deal more attractive must address market conditions while also meeting lenders' requirements and disclosure requirements.Opportunities"Closing cost credit reduces the cash the buyer must contribute at closing without lowering the sales price.

Price point is very attractive for investors making it a lower barrier to entry as well as higher cash on cash returns then other markets! 

I was just wondering if you had any experience with seller financing and how can I make this offer as attractive as possible without using too much of my capital?

Hi Joe,According to Reuters, it looks like there may be political factors who see a benefit for themselves in not working to stop the problems. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-police-biden-bail/biden-staff-donate-to-group-that-pays-bail-in-riot-torn-minneapolis-idUSKBN2360SZThe long term effects, it's hard to tell.The short term effects (when its over), we might see revitalization money offered to the commercial neighborhoods that suffered some burning, but if those neighborhoods are in lower socioeconomic areas the offers will probably (as usual) be small and more tied to attracting votes to the offerors than any real needed amount based on an analysis of the area.

So basic economics...less demand...lower price/lower rent.While no deposit is attractive to many renters, the $150 admin fee is offensive to many.
