I came across this table on the census web site.

I decided the only that will make me valuable is by me bringing Non MLS / Off Market deals to the table that no one else has in my market will make me more of an asset to my investors as they have a million realtors that can make a billion offers for them same inventory.

I think election year is propping things up and er... massaging data.

As a novice to RE investing, this is a very important concept for me to understand, especially as I await for my first of many offers on the table to be accepted - at which point I will be scrambling to fund.

Why leave all that profit on the table?

thanks for that great info Kurt Heise its great you have a deal on the table, from what ive gathered that is the hard part

Most holdover provisions that I've seen run from 25% to 100%.Before everyone gets in a tither; the reason for such high holdovers is to get the tenant to the table rather than stay as a m-t-m tenant.
