I toured the property, inspected it, great condition. submitted an offer 20K less and get accepted.

If your home is in the $100K range you may not want to spend thousands of dollars on staging or 3D tours and such. 

Knowing your market and your numbers will help you identify potential deals and narrow tour search.

This is also the same reason why "hard money day one" offers came about.2) That said, as the market cools, all of these brokers will have to change their attitude or they will lose potential buyers for their listing. 3) Personally, I believe that Re-trade should ONLY be limited to things you could not see during your initial tour/visit.

We can arrange video calls/tours of properties or areas.

I will get a better assessment went I go take the tour of the house after the holidays. 

You'll meet folks there that will tell you exciting war stories of how they made big money - some of it is fluff - be discerning - ask for details - how much down did they put up, how did they flip it - where did they find the transaction - how much money did the make --You want to learn something - try this ------Track down tax sale owners - ask if they would like to sellVisit Expired listings owners - ask if they are still taking offers on their houseLook at 50 houses (don't make offers - just look and take lots of notes) go with agents, look for FSBO's, - make it a goal to tour 3-5 house a day - you will become a expert in values in a short period of time.Have agents send you current listing and also expired listingsAttend public auctions - meet some of the bidders - collect cards and names - these are the REAL investors in your market - they are out there bidding on houses and making dealsEstablish a credit line of $20- $100,000 - when a deal comes your way - you will be ready to do businessHave all your forms ready - in a packet - your long form contract - your skinny contact offer - a hybrid offer - confess judgment notes - checks - disclosure forms - a list of contract clauses - list of creative financing systems - real estate formulas forms - lead paint waivers - referral forms - non-disclosure agreement and non circumvent agreementsWhen that great deals comes you'll know it (provided you worked the 50 house rule).don't waste your time with folks who talk the talk - sometimes we say BIG HAT - NO CATTLE!

The seller does not allow tours of the house unless there is an offer that they like, which is why I suspect it has been on the market for so long.

Long story short I got a tour of the property, a 3 bed, 1 bathroom house with detached garage which fits nicely within my rental property criteria.
