It's hard to stand out.There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

Hit me up sometime I sort of get that feeling as well for a lot of Greater charlotte areas -- but man if you drive around in I77 or other main highways the roads feel busier than Metro NYC ones at times.

Is the property already sold and is put on MLS just for some sort of compliance?

I thrive on constructive criticism.So I have motivated seller who lists his purchase price at $99,000 and the home is in need of $50,000 worth of repairs.

I figure the higher commission will motivate an agent otherwise.Any advice?

Thanks for the motivation!

Because I've met a lot of clean freaks who cheat on their wives, beat on their kids, manipulate their husbands...that sort of thing.I once knew a guy who was all about the personal grooming.

I sort of revamped my goal from 30 in 5 years to about 25 in 7.

The risk is that, if this doesn't occur in time, the market itself will "sort out" the issues on its own and arrive at an equilibrium that is far from what most (or all) stakeholders would prefer.

Two or so years down the line, the patch will start flapping in the wind again and the leak will start right back up.This is the sort of thing that if you don't have someone who's good and conscientious about small roofing repairs, and they are few and far between in this game, you're much better off handling it yourself, and if you can't handle it yourself, you're doomed to pay for the whole roof replacement anyway.
