I received several offers on the property I am selling. I've asked for best and highest. One of the offers is higher by 15k than everyone else. However, they did not send the contract and they were sending email only....

The Houston ones would hopefully give me:a. positive cashflowb. enough equity that a 10% market correction would not effect me (if and when that happens)My primary residence was bought in 2011 at the low as a short sale with some robo signing agreement so I did not pay any closing costs.

If your friend has bought 7 units correctly I would learn as much from him as possible since he should know all of the smaller things that go into the entire transaction.

-The house Is in New York has- he has a fire extinguisher company and won't list it because he actually services many of the real estate companies and is afraid to favor one or the other and inturn lose a client- he has nine houses in Pennsylvania - original loan was 660k 760k if I remember correctly - has paid 250k- has all floors ( basement, 1st and 2nd) rented only top floor has a lease total rent colle is 5500- supposed market value is 1.1 million - he's willing to take 960k- might be open to terms since he's already renting.As long as he keeps the title-sounds like the house doesn't need many repairs but i have a friend that is a contractor and he can Help me assess any repairs Hes a savvy new yorker so  I rather give him options instead of just 1 cash offerCan anyone help me figure this out ?

I'm starting to look into CFDs and am wanting to get a little more precise than the "stairstep" method of bidding.

I have made several offers only to be out bid.

I used the time to get some bids on some repairs, which I used to negotiate for a price reduction.

Am I understanding everything correctly?

When problems came up, the focus was on correcting the issues in the short time frame, while other issues were ignored.

On 11-6-2017 when the property had been assigned to myself I contacted tenants to schedule annual inspection, I was told it would need to be done at a later date due to their schedules.I received call from painting contractor who was reviewed cabinet photos, Silverstar would not bid on sanding & staining cabinets since the dye lot would not match, they are showing normal signs of aging.
