There are so many tools to help buyers and sellers do a great deal of research on their own but most of it is off the mark and to have the in depth knowledge of a market or historical data, that is held with the agents and our systems.

I use Homeaway.comI started off below market rates to create demand and increase my 5 star reviews.I no stay packed and push my price to the higher end.

Of course, the landlord can contract the work out to the student, but that's on a separate contract.I've read stories of tenants that negotiated for lower rent in exchange for snow/lawn duties, then called up the landlord and demanded that they do it.

This won't always work and the auctioneer always works for the seller to get the best price but that doesn't change the fact that at a lot of auctions when you show up and some of the players know each other there's already an idea about how its going to go.

Since then I have successfully listed and sold multiple properties and helped families get into their dream homes.My specialization is working with sellers and investors all around California.

I am also curious as to how this seller financing would work as well.

I find a motivated seller who accepts my below market value offer, yet they owe more than my offer on the loan.
