Increase that market with owner financing, or carry a note for a second, or offer a lease option.

She then sent me the MLS information with a cover email advising me that because the property had been sitting with no offers the lender has decided to rehab/upgrade the property themselves and will most likely be increasing their price.

But beyond just having a website and leading traffic to it, I think it's important to use strategic, well-planned internet marketing strategies to drive traffic to increase your likelihood of selling the property.

On the second, 20K less, because I really did not want to rent, I did sell, only because the buyers increased their offer by 6K, and I had been considering lowering my price.

I can drive 10 miles and price can increase or decrease by at least 200K.

That said, I've heard of tricks where the price is increased so your cash is reduced.I'd ask the owner what terms they want rather than proposing something.The one time I did owner financing, the owner was in first position, no second.

The Filings have showed a pattern of a month increase and a 2 month decrease followed by another increase.

I've been doing what you describe exclusively for about 15 years now, plus I seller financed all 16 of my rentals when I was tired of landlording.Problem 1 with doing this is your RENT INCREASES stop!

While we may well have not caught the market at its lowest point we are fairly confident that we will make money on our 7 to 8 year time line.

Many people will tell you that you can increase the rent and apply some of it towards the purchase price each month in exchange for the tenant maintaining the property.
