The bank (Chase) is so unrealistic with their expectations - they have to realize houses in the area sell for $5K to $20K and $29K puts them out of what buyers are willing to pay for.5.

I've done 10 of these deals and it usually takes 4-6 weeks to find a suitable buyer.I've tried the buyer-first approach but I'm not very good at maintaining positive control over a buyer's expectations, so they tend to become unrealistic and lose their sense of urgency.

That seems unrealistic and I guess is based on square footage and nearby comps run by a software app. 

If you ask them what the lead conversion rate is, they blatantly lie with an unrealisticly high number.

That's the same thing with those flipping shows--oversimplify and paint an unrealistic picture.Important to take into account all costs when evaluating a deal.

I'm seeing REOs in my area of SNJ (Monmouth County) priced unrealistically high - as though the 'R' in ARV had already been done and the bank was selling retail.

@Jacob Ashley - In general this is unrealistic to expect all of those at the same time.

Better to budget more and be pleased if it comes in lower.. than budget an unrealistic low number just to make your cash flow number look good to you and be disappointed.. 

Also, because most are inexperienced, they may have unrealistic expectations.

It is unrealistic to believe you can live in certain cities on government assistance or with low wage jobs.
