Hi Lenna Mau  I'm an agent in Bullhead City Az area and just wondered if listings are down this summer in your area, my area is at an all time low.

The entry level market is very reasonable and taxes are low there.

Mailer response rates are always low (1-5%), so it is a high probability that the owner never responds to your letter.

$5,000 purchase price, I do come across properties that low but they will need a lot of repairs at that price that's what they don't understand.

THis appraisal is low - the comps were horrible, the selling agent just didnt fight it or help the seller in any way, and we simply 'waited' till timing was critical for the seller. 

So the line item for makeready, or painting if broken down that way, may be very low or not even there.  

Then the house is a seasoned rental property and its income can be used in conjunction with W2 income to get another rental house.

Instead of bathing a dog once a season, many pet owners now groom their pet every two to six weeks, or as often as needed.

Needless to say I did not want to insult the owner, and let them know I wasn't able to make an offer.Fast forward a few weeks and I get a call stating that another flipper was offering them a low number, and continuously calling.

this way you are ahead of the game going into the heating season.
