That price range is also now the sweet spot and properties are not on the market for too long.

@ben barr Start by clearly identifying your objective and criteria.

There is lots of information and shiny objects out there, so stay focused and find your circle.

Lesson learned - shoot for the moon during inspection objection.

I do understand that it is the agent's objective to get the seller the price that they are asking for on the property.

My objective is to purchase a duplex/triplex to utilize the house hacking method.

We feel that the information we require is better than looking at a credit report that covers a wider range of dates and a wider range of things that don't pertain to whether or not the tenant paid their rent for the past 3 months.When a tenant hands us rent receipts from a $2 Office Depot receipt book and tells us they pay cash we kick the applicant out the door.

Demand for rentals in this range will be the highest.

In that 2019 article it said construction costs typically range from 140k to 320k.

So when the buyer says lets bail on this one and move to another contract and the next one is paying 1% more in the same price range...how hard do you think they fight to keep the first one moving?
