Keep in mind that the current owner did no raise the rent either, so it should indicate that the seller is either lazy or is also concerned about the tenants ability to pay and does not want to deal with it. 

A few years back I heard a lot of people being lazy and just saying they threw out a ton of offers on REOs at half of the list price.As others have said bad strategy in both directions.  

I'm actually surprise how many agents don't know(or just too lazy) to provide sold comps for people.

Good Afternoon, Hope this finds everyone well.

Yes it will take a but more effort, but that will only screen out the real lazy onesOn inial screening, its easy to exclude them without violating any laws....just find another reason to decline their application and find a better applicant.

Ok, I’m on my phone and just too lazy to search all the past forums.

I recommend what my accountant call the "Lazy 1031". 

I see where people buy burnt house or worse because they were too lazy to put in the work required to be sucessful. 

Good Afternoon, Remo.

Here is the scenario.Our agent called one afternoon around 2 and said the bank had asked for our "highest and best" offer.
