I can offer you a NON- NAR brokerage in California.

Ask what people are earning currently and offer them just a little more.

I know a decent amount about construction and I can offer advice or even services as a handyman.

I am a new investor and I want to buy a six unit property in Atlantic City the property is being sold at $475k I’m offering $450k 5 units are rented and one is vacant and it needs work I leave in the area and I own a home remodeling business so I can do the work myself for very low cost.

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.
