I have rehab money, I have purchase money arranged, but every time I make an offer something goes wrong and I have to start back at square one.There's a lot to do to keep busy in the meantime though.

Just my 2 cents and I hope it doesn't add confusion Hi Frank, My reasoning for picking the area are: the upcoming developments that have been planned for the area (I'm counting on the value of whatever property I purchase increasing), its proximity to the lake and trails (which is good for me because I ride a bike and a longboard in the summers as well as for future buyers), the accessibility to lake shore drive ( I work in Lincoln Square and Lake Shore Drive makes getting north extremely painless), and the overall beauty of the area.

In the area I am in, Washington DC, I am noticing the same thing, less competition and sellers willing to accept 5-10% discounts, depending of the property and area, of course.

Hello All,I am a new Realtor located in Seattle, WA and my goal is to become a a landlord while I flip homes.

I do property comps for the area by viewing homes sold in the past 60-90 days with close to the same lot size, year built, square footage, beds and bathrooms.

Also, it may priced a little high for the square footage.

If you add a permitted ADU that could add appraised value but the only ADU you can build for $35000 permitted is probably 100 square feet.
