That quite possibly means the listing agent put the crazy value in the seller's head already, perhaps because that was the only way to get the listing.It can't hurt to write the offer based on comps, but it's entirely possible the seller is only willing to sell if it goes for that "OMG!"

Hi everyone, I'm new to BP, ready to make some investments during a my next move. I've been listening to the podcasts and now im looking to the forums to increase my education. Maybe some day soon I'll have some val...

You hit the nail on the head, I have NO debt, no cc, car payment or anything (recently paid off my car this year) Currently have around 10k in the bank that I could fall back on. do you think that buying a duplex or triplex to house hack while I have a w2 now could be beneficial?

Also, be sure to head on over to the Sacramento Forum and join the conversation going on there and get a feel for the market.

Hi Everyone - I've been doing some development projects in Austin and Houston over the last 5 years, but am headed back to Greenville later this year with some new deals in the works (for example, a North Main SFR development, 4 new-construction homes on 1 acre).My last SC project was in Mt Pleasant back in 2013, and I'm trying to get a grip on the trend of build costs over the last few years.

Wish I had my head screwed on straight when I was 20.
