Interesting topic, and what a unique type of market given the logistics of an Island.

Coastal or unique scenic areas, major urban hubs, etc...

Ask yourself what are you unique skills that you bring to the table?

I was not in a hurry, and they were difficult homes to sell with unique features.It sounds like 5% is the typical rate (It is a violation of the Sherman Anti-trust Act to say there is a going rate.) in your area, and you are offering less than the traditional 50-50 split for the buyers agent.If your market is red hot, you should be able to sell this property FSBO.

Look for those unique or small names versus Citi Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc..

I am not sure how they would feel if I led them to believe I didn't own a property and they found out otherwise later- kind of destroys any trust they had for me.I am in a unique situation now, I have people calling about apartments that are not currently leased (I have taken the ads down but still get calls) and am under contract on two more purchases.  

I realize this will vary by state and other unique factors.

Ok here’s the deal, 21 units 1.6m, owners have had for 30 years, wanting to retire.I have read all kinds of articles and post regarding how somebody else has accomplished this type of deal, cant remember all the fine details, I’m sure there a bunch of articles, post and maybe even a audio version or two on BP.But now is the time to take all that info and bring it together to make the perfect or close to perfect offer to convince the sellers that selling on contract is the best way to go, especially on the capital gains said of things.Are there some members of the BP community that could help and guide me to accomplish this task?

Find it at foreclosure forum dot com.Now a word of warning: since all real estate laws are unique to state, Florida's laws will not apply to tgat website's predominantly California info.

I think I have a little bit of a unique angle to extend my rental season.
