Probably not a slam dunk but it was important for us to get the ball rolling by jumping into a deal where the numbers make sense.

They know the properties for small commercial will tend to be odd ball and the options are generally only community banks that want that business and offer horrible terms.

If you can get a super low ball price it might be worth it but you have to know that it will sit on the market for a long time because people are wary of homes that flooded even if it was just during Harvey. 

@Guido Sanchez Thanks yeah I'm aiming to start small, kick the ball and let it start to roll, rather than commit big money to my first shot, I drove by the neighborhood today and fortunately I met with an agent who is honest enough to warn me about the neighborhood around the property I'm looking at, definitely worth talking to locals!

Not all will do this for flippers but the ones that come to investor meet-ups are willing to play ball.

You come in with no money wasting a broker's time & you'll get black balled.

I look at it like baseball.. we get a lot of singles  some doubles a few triples and some homeruns and then once a decade one grand slam now if we could hit the curve ball maybe more..

Yes alot of them are low ball offers but with many investors bidding on the same properties the banks are getting close to offer price.

@Lucas Miller I'm not sure of anything except death and taxes, I do have a crystal ball but I can't figure out how to turn it on. 

what should I be doing to get the ball rolling?
