Absolutely, but it will be helpful for the small handful deals you are representing yourself in an open sale, but in private sales it is becoming harder and harder in the current market climate to say I want to buy your property and you are going to pay me a commission on top of that.

Why are you looking for FSBO's or private sale?

This kind of strategy closes more deals and is well known in the sales and marketing industry.One day it occurred to me to use this strategy to make offers.

One of the hardest challenges in my experience is how un-structured many of the richest data opportunities are (county foreclosure lists, auctions, for sale by owner, etc.).

The IRS has a 120 day first right to redeem the property AFTER a foreclosure sale before they have to release their lien interest.

To find a deal under 300k....I would pull the sale records for multi family in the specific areas you want to buy with a max purchase price of let’s say 250k. 

Purchase price: $23,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Sale price: $63,000 This was a nice property that I got from the auction put a little work in it and flip it fast!

You could always run your own comparables on homes in the area that have sold near buy or are for sale.

So me and the father in law just had a discussion about putting a house under a sales contract.

For example if i'm trying to build my buyers list and I call a RE agent to look into the MLS and find me recent cash sales on houses and provide me with that information, how does that benefit them?
