Similar to properties who have multiple offers tend to be over list price vs. properties who only have 1 offer tend to not be.

So much to offer on BP that you can learn and get you started in investing! 

ShrinkflationThere is inflation and now we have “shrinkflation,” where something appears to not be as expensive / the same price but the size of the offering is now smaller/less.

@Kimberly Arington don't understand your post.Why would a LTR landlord entertain an STR offer and have to furnish the property?

Wholesaling can indeed offer valuable leads, but it's a competitive space where the best deals are often closely guarded.

Recently updated with brand new countertops, fresh paint throughout, sleek new flooring, and stylish light fixtures, this home offers a chic and turnkey living experience.

Lower asking price to $209k or less and hope you get a bidding war or at least 1 offer? 

I was checking on this one to see if it would be delivered vacant (yes) and they already have 20 offers.

Would you pay for a subscription model say $1000 a month where you got access to knowledgeable investor agent who had zero stake on if the transaction closed but provided you with local knowledge, strategies, ran comps, looked over deals, even looked over home inspection reports, talked in the phone, basically a consultant (you could possibly tack on services like writing offers or seeing a property in person) my thought is if you buy a property relatively quickly, it’s much cheaper than paying 2.5% even if you end up paying for the service for a few month’s and realize it’s not a good time for you to buy you are only out a few thousand dollars as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars, this would basically take the agent’s need to sell you a home out the process, presumably there motivation would be to keep you subscripted for as long as possible but you could easily just cancel and if you were interested in buying later resubscribe than.

For example, just driving around won't tell me if there's a new housing development or mall or manufacturing facility planned to start construction in the next year or two.
