We’ve had cash offers 15-20k over asking with escalation clauses on our flips.

Often, it's the transitioning neighborhoods that offer more potential appreciation.

Third, you never make offers without deadlines.

Has anyone ever used this? What was your experience?

We've had clients change their offered commission numerous times during the course of a listing thinking it would make a difference - our experience is that above 3% or with a BTSA (Bonus to Selling Agent) it doesn't have a measurable difference - the Buyer is generally in control and pushing a client towards one home or another based on your payday may land that agent in hot water later.

I’m not sure if they only manage properties owned by the entity, or offer PM services.

Offer cash for them to "voluntarily" leave. - not my first choice, unethical, needs cashb) Get to do a 13% or 19% rent increase if rents haven't been increased since May 1977 or May 1976, respectively - I will find out if there are records going this far back in due diligence phase, if offer gets acceptedc) Operate with a loss or very low NOI for 1 year, after that we will be eligible to apply for a Just & Reasonable Rent Adjustment. - with this, we can potentially increase rents by up to 145% depending on a comparison with baseline 1977 level rent amount.I have 2 questions:1) If there exists these 2 other, legal ways to increase rent in a rent controlled area, why does it seems like the only option most investors consider is cash for keys?

I am writing to seek clarification regarding the insurance claim check that was recently issued to me as the payee, with both my personal name and the mortgage company's name listed.
