Negotiated a small price decrease due to it being on the market for 60+days and also had seller pay 3% closing costs.

It was stated to me that a property owner gets paid in full at closing.

It was difficult managing all the stakeholders (from closing the deal to fixing the property to renting it).

You would think properties like those would be snatched up before they made it on a site like that if those numbers were even close to being accurate.

I just want to make good choices and this is the first place I thought of to ask for help. 

@Kristi PrattTo make smart real estate choices, think about rising rates, cash-out refis, and slow pay growth.

@Nick JilbertCurious about the choice of a 15 year mortgage.

You will also have closing costs. 

In fact, one article I read claimed that 1/3 of luxury purchases this year closed for cash..It can be frustrating for a buyer to invest (usually months) scrolling real estate websites, (or weeks if you read our newsletter :) but in all seriousness I would say for every two offers made, one transaction ultimately closes.
