with property radar, you can nearly any sort of list you can imagine: for instance, out of state owners with 100% that have NOT purchased anything within past 5 years,  people who've paid all cash for properties within the past X months, people who are in pre-foreclosure, people who have land, commercial property, farm land, SFR, etc.  

For instance, I think everyone knows multi-family is hot right now nationally.

We have had more than a few instances of he said, she said.

If your HML is not costing a lot of money maybe consider doing a six month extension if possible.

To avoid too many 'funny feelings' at the showing I pre-qual pretty extensively over e-mail before I even make the appt.  

Then do some marketing at those folks.Some for instances:- Listed a home a while back in an area that had a small private airfield.

Those who do not take the time to understand the principles will be those who find themselves in mediocre investments which will not float when things get tight - another thread was posted this morning indicating home repossessions are on the rise {again} in 10-states.It is no different than the the three 28 - 50 unit buildings on which we were outbid over the past six months - In each instance, I sent the buyers a letter of introduction congratulating them on the acquisition and letting them know how to get in touch if we might be of any assistance to them in the future.  

@Shelby Smith Maybe some commercial guys can jump in but its my experience ( albeit limited ) that commercial agents work in this manner1. they get a listing and they ALWAYS try to double end it to their buyers FIRST2. if they can't sell it they open it up to their office.3. if the office can't sell it they then put it out on loopnet coaststar or in rare instances MLSCommercial brokers do not work under the same code of Ethics and rules RESI agents work under..

there is enough meat on the bone when i calculated the back taxes into the mix on the sale side. the owner knows the taxes have to be paid so she know that this is what is going to kill what she receives so just write the contract to her at her price she wanted to walk away with plus enough for closing cost she she will have to pay. tell her it may take a lil longer to close on it so at some point i may need an extension on the contract. then call city hall and inform them that i looking to purchase a property that has back taxes owed on it but the amount of back taxes is to much for me to buy and fix it and get the property producing again tax revenue again. when i get word from the city then market it?

They have soft close doors/drawers and the drawers are full extension.
