I am investing in the Midwest but have done a lot of research on this subject.

With higher end properties in say a mid west market were Curt is remember you can buy BRAND new construction for 140 to 160k a door this is what buyers will compare to your 20 YO house thats been a rental.. to get retail value you would need a major renovation.I have been doing some renovation deals in the mid west last 3 years and you have to totally dial them in to get anywhere close to an appraised ARV or what you think is retail.. and I mean totally ... buyers in these markets have an over abundance of choices.. you may find that TINY pocket that is hot but other than that I think my statement is pretty accurate based on my personal experience in the mid west marekt place since 2002.

However the ultimate protection for you is to get the subject property under contract.Good Luck

It's only when the values are close to each other that the Buyer wants to make sure that the Seller is aware that their Offered price is only valid SUBJECT TO the Sellers' Lender clearing off the Mortgage.

Good luck, I looking forward to hearing more on this subject. 

If this same conduct or conduct of a similar nature is repeated within 12 months, your tenancy is subject to termination without further warning and without your being given an opportunity to cure the noncompliance.

I think the lack of interest in this subject is very telling.  

How about the subject:  "Are all leads paid the same?"  

They seemed really exciting about Real Estate, but just from listening, I knew they were very uneducated on the subject.

Markets are hot, rates are going up, deals are dried up in most major markets.
