I cannot see how this would even be effective if on top of old shingles.

Don't let something so easy delay you or make your marketing less effective!

The first approach is much more likely to leave everybody on speaking terms at family dinners than the second approach.The comment you make to the effect of not having much/anything into the deal due to the inheritance does not have a lot of relevance, in my opinion.

Currently my biggest obstacle is having the needed available time to effectively market the property, answer calls, and show the property when most people are available.

ROFR´s are therefore not an effective alternative for an investor seller who wants to pre-set an above-market price in order to lock in a future profit.From the perspective of the landlord/seller, there is a problem with a ROFR: it may inhibit the landlord/seller from marketing the property for sale while the ROFR is in placeLease-Options Compared to Other Preferential Rights:There are two lesser forms of preferential or pre-emptive rights that are relevant to this discussion:(1) a right of first offer ("ROFO") which obligates the seller to notify a buyer of his intention to sell, and the buyer will then have the right to make an offer, the terms of which are not specified in advance; and(2) a right of first negotiation ("ROFN"), which obligates the seller to negotiate exclusively with the buyer for a prescribed period of time.

You know, in your profile you say something to the effect that "every intown property has had its unique challenge."

Its at this point that I say something to the effect of "If you wouldnt wake up your mother for this, why are you waking up me? 

We also meetup with flippers and Buy and Hold Investors weekly to discuss the business and how to run things more efficiently and effectively.

I haven't seen the CL add you included but it sounds like you have listed it with a somewhat abnormal headline - it didn't sound particularly attractive from the above post.It has been cold and snowy in many areas of the country and that can have a profound effect on people being willing to/wanting to move.

I was able to talk to confidently and effectively about the deal and was able to negotiate very favorable terms with the lender without really trying.
