Quote from @Quinzel Waiters: Hello all I'm new to the Real estate space but I'm working on getting my first off market dealCurrently I'm looking at a heavily distressed property that's priced too high.

Hi my name's Jim ,I have done all aspects of house repair ,building ECT I even have my refrigerant licences ( universal) I started working with my father at around 8 years old took right to HVAC ,we did all aspects of home repairs demo and building .

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

What worked for you?

I really don’t want to lose this buyer—what’s the best way to make this work?

Get to work!

I suppose that it depends on how the math works out...

As a contractor I had to work for money, be at the mercy of the customer, jobs and timelines never seemed to go as planned, only to pay tax on the money I worked for.

This takes a little more work, but it's the fairest and reduces the likelihood of tenants that squander utilities.If you choose #2 or #3, there are considerations:Start with an average.

I worked at hospital diagonally across street so very convenient and at the time this 2bed 1bath was all I needed.
