Well done! Good example for us to remember to stick to our course of action, do not panic to make a higher offer when our first are rejected and don't be afraid to move on. Other opportunities will always come up... maybe even the same property with an even better price point! Thanks for sharing this story!

Congratulations on the new property Arnie, it looks fantastic! Interestingly, regarding your rents, there was a good article talking about minimising vacancies here on BP's last week or so and one of the ideas was on offering more reasonable rents for longer term tenants.

Nothing wrong with offering fair rent for longer tenancy. Here in Japan we're blessed to have a tendency for longer term tenants so I can appreciate your wish to have same! Good luck with the new property.

Hi Derek,

Welcome to BP's. Good luck with your properties. Your skills will certainly be to your advantage. As Ann mentioned, knowing your market very very well will be your next best ally! I have properties up north, but up north and across the border in Canada!

Is he your only option as far as tenants go?

@Scott K. Congratulations on getting the deal closed. For your first flip, it looks really good! Please continue to update us.

Congratulations on closing and possession! Your first one is always the most challenging but also exciting! Wishing you much success with this property and those to come!
