@Brian Varmuza I am sure the answer to this question will vary based on the area of the country, but in Connecticut where I am located and where there is a decent amount of competition for REOs it is definitely more common for offers to not include any inspection contingencies.

It's close to a university so there's good potential to get long-term renters in if the units are competitive with other student housing options (most students are paying $300-350 per bedroom in this market.)Units were all purchased in 2004 at $95k each.They're listed at $75k each now, and have been on the market for eight months.

Some even high than the Offer that I would offer...Is there a Way for me to Stand out above the Competitions Offer?

Im competitive, and need the lowest price and best connections for approved contractors, etc.

Then again, if you do flip there, all those other flippers are your competition.

Competition and cut throat nature?

The property is pretty much turnkey and I wasn't planning on doing a lot of renovations, but do plan to maintain it so that its competitive with other homes in the area.

You should search anywhere and everywhere to find an experienced loan officer that can provide you ample knowledge and a competitive rate.

Unfortunately, there is much competition doing that.  

I always told new agents comign to work for me you need to save up 1 years of livings expenses... it will take you that long to get your income coming in a consistent way.. or you need to keep your job and do this part time until you grow into it.those that quite thinking instant success in what is a VERY VERY tough business usually went broke and were out of the game in a matter of months.Think about it like your starting any other kind of small business.. you need capital in the bank you need capital to run the business and you need capital to live on while you are priming the pump.You also need exceptional sales skills and should spend money learning how to sell and close.you need to understand this is 24/7 ... if your going to beat your competition to the deals.And remember there are simply WAY more wholesalers and wanna bee wholesalers than there are deals in MOST markets..
