Our plans have changed slightly as we were looking into investing out of state.

So the value is more in identifying them as off the radar potentials for high margins, as most haven't entered market at all yet or have just started considering it due to life change reasons. 

If 7 days later you find a buyer that set date does not change... he now has 7 days...Also I imagine the $10 or $100 goes to a title company, however offering someone $10 to lock their house up under contract, seems like it isn't even worth it.

@Eric Sullivan That's smart only buying R2-R3 with the AirBnb consideration - as my mom is finding out in Gloucester, it's also easier to change zoning/use when you're not in an R1 type zone.Good luck with that 24 unit - that's a dream right there.Will reach out in the future for sureBlakle

I haven't focused much on investment property in the past, and I am seeking opportunity to drastically change paths into this arena now.With that said, I was negotiating a deal with a seller recently, and then halfway through the negotiations he said a hard money deal wouldn't work out.

Parkside back in the 50s was the place to live, it was a high class neighborhood, obviously that has changed.

Will it change anything?

The home is one owner since 1955 with minimal renovations so will make for a drastic change.

A zoning change could be to your advantage. 

I would have the system checked , maybe the filters need to be changed .
