The same agent is still holding the listing, proving the original advice was deeply flawed.A listing that sits for two years with a major price correction carries a stigma that often hurts the final sale price more than a quick, accurate initial price ever would.This example is a powerful reminder that many realtors are disconnected from accurate market values and prioritize winning the listing over serving the seller's best interest.What is the logical next step for this seller, and what responsibility should the initial agent bear for the wasted time and lost equity?

Example: Property is on zillow and all normal sites for 1,500/mo but I know that section 8 rent for the same property goes for 1,900/mo... 

For example, if you had $100k of suspended losses and you're in the 12% tax bracket, your taxes go down by $12k, not by $100k.And $12k does not necessarily go into your pockets.

for example we handle all the payments coms etc through hemlane for our rentals, but I also advertise on zillow, and just put it on the general MLS. 

We've tried groups like Lima One and Kiavi, but they just don't work for our model — their DSCR underwriting is based on market rents, not actual lease terms, and STR want 12 month's of existing performance.Here’s an example deal:Purchase Price: $400,000Lease Terms: 3-year lease at $4,000/monthMarket Rent: ~$2,500/monthBecause DSCR lenders are using the lower market rent, we get capped on LTV and lose the leverage we need — even though our tenant-buyer is pre-approved, fully underwritten, and putting down 10%.We operate two private real estate funds and close 2–4 single-family homes/month for pre-approved rent-to-own tenants.

For example, if you’re in California but want to invest in Tennessee, then look for local or regional lenders within TN.Happy to share some recommendations if you’re in the market for financing.I definitely think local banks are the best although DSCR lenders are worth looking into as well these days, especially these days when debt service coverage is more often a restriction on loan amount than the appraisal is. 

For example, I would like to invest $100,000 in the project with a preferred return of 12% per annum.

Quote from @Douglas Harman: Sounds helpful we have several deals to use as examples. 

Example.

Each group should receive messages tailored to their goals.Step 2: Set a goal for each sequence – Examples: book a listing appointment, schedule a showing, or deliver a home value report.
