Also try to understand the sellers pain point (through you agent) and solve that problem if you can.Properties with over 14-Days on the market are good candidates as well.Keep crushing numbers and be very proactive with your approach.Goodluck

Susan Horton, 2021 ABoR President, summarized the challenges of this local housing market well: “Our housing market is undergoing growing pains and creating a paradox—affordable from the outside looking in, but increasingly unaffordable for those who already call Austin home.”This sentiment was echoed from economist at the the Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, Dr.

the only thing I know to do is to cause him hardship that will cost him money but he can't tie to me, but if I do that he may just raise everyone's rent and screw everyone over feeling no pain.

What is the financial, emotional, and psychological pain that you are/were experiencing?

The seller gets relief from the house, you make 20k, and the flipper also makes a good profit.

@Eric Turner I think you need to be realistic with yourself and understand that at some point the walk needs to meet the talk. 4k in monthly cash flow would be good for a moderately advanced investor, and to get there you'll need to dive in and understand there will be years of grind and pain before you're at this point. 

So far it’s been worth the pains.
