Hello all,My team and I have been out to snag foreclosures at our local auction here in Southern TX for about a year 1/2 now.

As the buyer you decide what you want to pay and hope you have a agent that 1- will offer it and 2- will do a good job negotiating it.Bottom line is, assuming your agent is fully engaged and on your team, you make all the decisions.

She follows up, she has fantastic communication skills (always available), she has a thorough knowledge of the local market, she has a great team in place to help her, and it's obvious she has a passion for what she does.  

So, that's where I feel if I could put together a good team that will oversee and manage the project first hand, then it would reduce the anxiety of the unknown. 

I thought HM .. well even with no sports teams Charleston is booming.. but its mainly inner city and newer construction..North Charleston that is were the airport is.. is transforming and I would see that being an area the article is talking about.. one downtown strip in N Charleston just since I started investing there has gone form board up to about 10 restaurants  a few brew pubs and brought inner city out to what was an area the locals thought of as a poor area.. 

What you do need is a local team and that starts with a local buyers agent.

They want me to discount the rent since they lost their food and its chilly in the house .  

If it's a new foreclosure than they will likely sit on it in order to make the money back that they have lost. 

Using those hours to better understand the market, talk to sellers, network with your team....all likely to produce higher returns.So in the end, which would you prefer?

I want to build a team where we can all grow and be successful together!
