What is their strategy to get the most offers (equal to highest price) Too many inexperienced agents out there are able to secure listings and then fumble everything from marketing to dealing with litigious tenants.

There are many other factors to consider of course but I would argue these are vital.  

And while I do believe that profit is vital to any business venture, I also believe profit without taking care of your humanity isn't worth the profit.

To be fair, though, Isaura, Florida equals palm trees and balmy ocean breezes. 

It’s easier to get a conventional loan accepted than a VA loan, all other things being equal.

Setting yourself up to take action for investing is an equally powerful move to make during preparation.  

I lowballed the offer based on what I learned here about max offer price equal 70% ARV (Thank you BP) and gave them until Friday to respond.

I know along the way I am thankful that I checked my ego at the door and went to my father in law, a very seasoned investor, for advice and wisdom that has proven to be vital in my growth as a a business person and investor in real estate.

you would shoot for $6000 in rent to equal the 2% rule. then go on to figuring 50% rule for the operating expenses (exclude your P&I).Leverage is a beautiful thing; put 20-25% down & get a loan so that way you can buy more properties, have $ for rehab & an emergency fund.evictions - just screen people hard. sometimes bad things happen to good people but you have to be proactive & (again) lucky.

I also don't think I have time to get a HML in place.I had to compete with two other offers one was 5k below mine and one was equal to mine but the executor of the estate went with me b/c I waived my right to a home inspection.thx again for the input!
