It's possible with a longer time on market, they may be open to a lower price.2) being sold by owner - may be more opportunity here. price may be over/under market value.3) foreclosure - bank is motivated to sell. may be willing to sell under value especially in a slow area.based on this, it seems like best bet would be to pursue houses sold by owner, foreclosures, and listings that have been on market for a while. there also is a whole other approach of finding motivated sellers - drive bys, bandit signs, etc. 

The deal I found was from amotivated seller asking 126k for the duplex but I believe they would take less.

Not sure if a bankruptcy would change the parameters or not but that may be a better option for the seller.

Good morning,We won a Hubzu bid in which the seller does consider financing but we did an all cash offer.Are we allowed to get a mortgage within the span it takes close, or is it absolutely out of the picture?

@Scott Choppin the issue you are going to face is two fold; one, very few real estate crowdfunding sites, if any, will take on ground up development because they are inherently higher risk, longer term projects that do not appeal to the majority of current crowdfund investors so are difficult to capitalize, and two, investor demand for real estate crowdfunding slants heavily towards current pay on preferred returns which don't make good economic sense for ground up deals.These two issues may sound the same, but they are driven by different underlying dynamics.

Seller wants $90,000 for the home, with the cosmetic repairs being $20,000 in cost and the ARV is 141,654.

Are there any trends you're seeing regarding unit sizes and add-on that are assisting with demand, efficiency, and profitability in your market?

He had 4 cars to his household as had older children, and he had to resort to parking in his driveway, which can accommodate 4 cars, but inconvenient.He spoke to the owner and demanded his tenants not park in front of the house, my rental.

I've paid off a few mortgages, but they were higher risk commercial and seller financed loans or conventional above 7%.
