when looking at real estate websites, oftentimes I see "offers due by" some datefor example "offers due by may 12"what does this deadline mean?

Seller is an idiot for even accepting your offer.

We have found houses the traditional way - through the Multi Listing Service (MLS), through foreclosure auctions, off of craigslist (that really weren't scams!)

There's nothing better than getting an FHA or conventional offer accepted by an unsuspecting seller, knowing you will have plenty of opportunity to re negotiate once the appraisal comes back.

As a good investor, always always keep this in mind, especially when you get an insane deal, how is the service provider give me an insane below market deal and still keep a successful business running?

Starting tomorrow, May 1st, 2024, we're launching a new service that connects real estate investors with vetted and trustworthy property managers.

Happy to offer up some more insights if you're interested.

It takes a lot of life experience and finesse to deal with people coping with huge life struggles.If I were young and starting out, I'd offer paid services for clean outs and basic staging/moving around furniture.

I have a tenant with 2 certified service animals (dogs).

You can explain to the Realtor that if you don't do this, then it has to be a cash buyer and they will offer less.
