jscott, I am an agent and I was the buyers agent on this deal, and i ran the comps on this deal before I made the offer, also remember that I had to go through the highest and best situation earlier on in the process, so I felt it was a pretty strong offer to begin with and in reference to the vanderlism, I was not even trying to get a discount I just wanted them to honor the contract that we had before the vanderlism and they would not even do that.I think you are right on the point that the listing agent should have had the bpo done before listing the house, I think this is just a reflection of the current market, lack of inventory and unrealistic expectation on the part of the bank, in this case the sellers were willing to contribute their relocation fund towards the deal and I even went up 2k just to try and make the deal work, I eventually walked on this deal.Micheal, yes I walked on this deal, not worth to me, also been an agent what I am noticing on these flips in my area is, they are starting to sit and taking longer to sell after rehabs because the prices are starting to creep really close to the new construction prices and that is a reflection of what they are paying for this properties when they buy them, I think some investors are starting to think are about the good old days of 4 to 5 years ago before the crash and that is really scary if you know what Imean

Kyle,Will you be relocating to the area or will you be out-of-state investing?

also too, the seller been working with a realtor for the past 30 days and i told her that i can make a offer if the numbers right but they need to negotiate with the agent and thats between u and the agent. i know about not stepping on other people toes, thats why i let her know that info. the seller is motivated b/c they have to relocate for a new job and wants out just as long as they can get some money. i do plan on meeting her next week. hlp

Hey all,In the next year I will be relocating to the Tacoma/ Seattle area and I am looking to connect with any investors in the area.

At this point he just needs to put one wall up and relocate laundry room (<$2000 in total).

DFW is a seller's market right now, Toyota, NFM, StateFarms, lots of multi-thousand job relocation and expansions in the last two years. 

Also, I am sure that they are getting relocation expenses, which would include any lease break fee.

Although it seems there all heading to one small area, even local businesses are relocating to this tiny section of town and other areas are slowly becoming abandoned.

Reason for moving… relocating to be closer to work and family.

Investigating getting my real estate license to fund said flipping/ investing--found I really enjoy sharing my wealth of experience with 1st time buyers and those looking to relocate.
