Typically older, tired, want to pass on the wealth to the kids etc....

A tire factory is being built near where I live.

you will when you try this have deal after deal that wont work becasue you cant buy it cheap enough.. you will deal with investors that will tell you they have money when they dont.. lots of tire kickers out there.. so those are all potential listings..

Sorry I don't recall his name, but the loss of a (IIRC tire) manufacturer and difficulites in the poultry processing industry has left some areas very bad off.TX has some strange property taxes on non owner occupied property and insurance rates are NOT regulated by the state, so make sure you have a firm binder.Also, TX does NOT regulate or license GENERAL CONTRACTORS, so be careful about anyone you hire as a GC.

By law, the agent has to deliver this contract to the seller.If the offer is turned down, tell them the offer stands less 5% and when they are tired of no calls and not selling, you're happy to give them $76,000 hard cash right now.

You must, of course, fully disclose to the person assigning the deal that you are an agent (I hope that person would already know *grin*) and, I believe, that you must declare to the seller when you take over the contract (but there's not much they can do about it at that time).OT: after rereading my original post, I need to post when I'm not so tired.

Because they are tired of dealing with it.

I think this is because motivated buyers and sellers don't choose to become motivated, something happens that causes them to become so, and they don't have any control over the timing of that "something".One difference I have noticed is that I tend to get more calls from tire-kickers in the summer and fewer in the winter.

Long term investors (one house held for 14 years) are letting go of break even rentals as they are tired of flat rents and higher and higher property taxes.

Hi @Charles A. and all on this thread I started a long time ago on utilizing your dead equity.At the moment I have vastly forced appreciation on all my apartment complexes and have 4 vacancies out of over 200 units and have won every eviction case and the judges are tired of the lying about Covid for these tenants and they did not follow the CDC guidelines to declare etc...
