What other tips on the strategy do you offer?

So I made an offer on a property that will ultimately be a STR and the sellers countered with a higher ask but bond for deed amortized over 30 w/a 5 year balloon.

Looked at dozens of SFHs online and ran the numbers, ARV not high enough, renovation costs going over, and making offers based on video tours, sight unseen has been challenging.

You could still list it as it should give you the breadth of all offers. 

(Usually 2 years from the offering date and 1 year from the purchase date). 

We're about to sign an offer.

Including the guru or person offering this program. 

I had tried to offer on another house with a similar price and the builder wouldn't negotiate at all. 2 years later, that house is worth far less and when I saw it in person it was not desirable.

I think an izakaya may work well since they offer a variety of small dishes and most people will be able to find something of their liking.

We currently charge less then half of that for a simple tax filing like that, but may not offer the level of advisory and guidance that this person does.
