I've put a bunch of reasonable low ball offers that have simply been rejected and then the property just ends up going to auction.

Just wondering if I should really play hard ball or take the deal to gain experience? 

Just a curious ball park which multiple people have supplied.

That's a complete different ball of wax. 

I imagine these expenses are very important to factor if your sole job is real estate investing and that is your only source of income.I also am wondering if it is offensive or bad strategy to low ball an offer.

Hi Ashley,Here is what I did to get the ball rolling...1.

Again, if the holy grail of blogs is how to get exposure, I guess at least I figured out the right question to ask :)  I am about 15 years behind the 8-ball on starting a blog, and am not really experienced as you might be able to tell.Thank you for your input and have a great weekend!

I don't have a crystal ball, and its probably unwise to speculate on rates, but I don't see them spiking enough to kill values on assets considered to be affordable housing like Class B, value add apts, etc.

If they're hiding the ball as to this aspect of investing, who knows what else they're hiding especially if they're the ones rehabbing the houses as well. 

This takes mental energy and you may skip over the optimization process if you have too many balls in the air.One at at time.Best to you
