So yeah I have had no luck except playing the banks waiting game.

I’m a new investor that has been playing with the BP calculator and found this deal!

Also in the submarkets I play in, stuff sells at a given price per pound.  

If the competition is not booked then probably amenities plays a part all else being equal.

Maybe play it safe and hire a broker that can serve as a dual agent for you both - it will insulate you from potential liability while also facilitating a quick and easy sale. 

I see that strategy played out in other parts of the city too.

Could also be a homestead exemption in play.  

You are pulling the cash out, so you can go do another deal.I am just looking at this thinking a $130K property that rents close to 1% that you say will keep appreciating, seems like a good long term play. 

I knew this flip was a good deal just from spending so much time studying my market before I decided to jump in that and living in the are my entire life played a big part as well.

I had actually contemplated this same scenario playing out for me.
