If a seller isnt offering a commission to BA, they will likely not be able to sell the property.

I solely work with investors, and I only sell off-market deals to investors in Arizona.

This went against my "never sell a property in the San Francisco Bay Area" line of thought. 

I view an outdoor gas grill as a selling point to potential tenants.

Thanks for the feedback Jon.Specs on home:purchase for: 415kclosing costs: 8.3krehab: 16kholding: 3.5ktotal project cost: 442.8kclosing on sell: 11.5krealtor costs: 29kARV: 575k (comps provided in his summary)potential profit: 92kCan you elaborate on your point #2?

I can't really afford to pay capital gains on 1/2 the value when I'm not really selling the property and getting any funds..

Listings are selling for roughly 95% of their list price on average.

I am currently planning on purchasing a piece of land and building a spec house on it to sell.

This was in the context of adding value when selling a property, and it got me thinking how this translates to LT rentals.I have a 3/2 single family LT rental in a C class neighborhood in the Charlotte, NC metro area.

Bonus #2: if you send cards or do cold calling and use VA, have a script for people who are not looking to sell, but to buy more - those are also cash buyers often.
