If you think you will be back in a couple years, you are trying to time the market. 

In my market, you see a range but the construction cost for the home itself is roughly $100/sqft to $140/sqft for the home alone.

Don't fall for their marketing attempt.

Keep up with changes in the market, fresh ways to do things, and new rules in real estate.Good luck!

@Jonathan GreeneAgree 100%. be transparent and if good news great - bad news - still share it with investors - realize they are making life choices based on what they may be telling you as an example of someone has $100k investment and you fear it’s going to go to foreclosure - well maybe they would not spend $10k on that vacation or buy a new home knowing they are getting wiped outUnfortunately there is a group of guru syndicators who are great marketers / sales which some I have personally spoken with and they are so full of it and just like to hear their voice their ego gets in the way.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing a home near Frederick that has been on the market 9 months !

I am about to start a direct mail marketing campaign and am looking for the access to gain comp information.

Do you have any insight/advice for someone looking to expand into that market? 

Broke down numerous deals in the area on market and this one fit the best for what we were trying to do.

But being we are in a smaller market, the main buyers around here already have their cash lined up and have for many years, and those certain guys buy a bulk of the deals.
