Is it about just getting started in real estate investing, is it about subsidizing an otherwise unaffordable home to live in, is it about acquiring strong income producing properties?

Given the strong cashflow we decided to keep it for our portfolio instead of reducing the price.

'Make' is a strong word.

A single buyer may have a strong preference for your home versus the home directly across the street for lots of incredibly personal reasons.A home in one neighborhood could be the same model from the same builder as another neighborhood.

My strong suit is working with people and budgeting and forecasting and running my business.

We are experiencing some slow down on the seller side (less homes being listed as we head into the Holidays) yet buyer demand is as strong as ever with all price points tracked under a week on the market.I have 8 flips going on right now and normally I am hesitant to do too much work in November and December because we end up listing in January and February.

but having set criteria will keep the ship afloat regardless of temporary hiccups. my hypothesis: Real estate will continue to go up in value in short term as well as the long term. there may be waves but that's why you built the strong ship to withstand them till the oceans are smooth again. 

What are some creative/strong ways to be competitive with offers in current seller’s market?
