Well, you dropped the ball on this one.  

See if you are in the ball park.

I certainly keep an eye on MANY financial indicators and have my bachelor's degree in accounting (right before most or all states changed CPA exam and thus accounting degrees to a 150 credit endeavor) so I know my #s well, but no one has a crystal ball yet as far as I know!

Don't be afraid to low ball the offer.

Estimated completion date, August 28th.During this time, we had the ball rolling to sell our current house hack during the first week of September.

So, for me it kind of defeats the purpose, and I see the company that offers the lowest price, and then i low ball them, get the job.  

These aren't always accurate but you can get a ball park idea from them.

The lease term is completely irrelevant from this side of the ball.

So I posted before on this but the terms changed.My grandma is giving me 2 field balls, a store, and a log cabin with a pond.

Conservative thinking or being negative about every real estate lead we worked was a positive thing for our family investing program - that and making low-ball offers (if they don't cry - the offer is too high) helped us maintain our current cash flow and avoid financial failure.In tough times - it is always wise to look at all those things that may go wrong with the deal - don't use conventional financing - always seller financing or option or Hybrid offers or long or extended closing time - called delayed settlement with a few contingencies.This is a great business if you understand and use as many creative formula as possible.If the deal is not good for me now - it won't get better in the future.Charles
