With retail clients, often the goals are less objective and more emotionally driven.

For example:House A is 100k and ready to rent.

Everyone has their own approach, here's mine:- If I'm purchasing a property that's being represented by a Listing Agent: (a) I get that LA to represent me so they earn the buyside commission as well and are incentivized to fight harder for my offer, or (b) if the LA does not want to dual represent (a rarity) we waive the buyside commission and give it back to the seller, which closes the ask/offer gap.- When we sell a property I represent the Partnership as the LA, but only charge a 1.00% fee - the vast majority of which is marketing (spent on mailers, website collateral, etc), and admin costs.

(The Adirondacks is largely a tourist-driven economy.) 

Always remember that once you buy someone's problem property your problem situation it now becomes your problem that you may not be able to get rid of I would grade those properties and decide how you could curtail your marketing to be more specific meaning geographic area price range maintenance needed EtcI suggest grading them a through d,A is a perfect property D is a horrible deal and figure out the common theme of what you got from the AAA properties and start hyper-focus marketing on those properties with those letters.Another option /idea is that you can always get a contract on that property and flip the property as an option contract to another investor if the price is correct

A follow up question. i have multiple applications from people who have never toured the units, and they tell me  “ we have driven by and viewed the online pictures and we are good with them”.  

And as a town car driver you meet all kinds.One of his clients he has driven for years as well is a new Heiress Grandfather sold the business for over 1 billion and she is about 32 YO.

That's driven up prices and pushed down availability. 

I think I’m getting driven by fomo more or so and feeling like I’m behind for my current age. (26) This is where my patience will be tested I suppose, I’ll use that time in the mean time to hyper study analyzing the numbers and my specific market as you suggested and get positioned correctly.

@Bill Brandt There is a point about Las Vegas housing prices being driven above what people can afford on local wages though.
