You can't win a championship by just focusing on defense.

F**k, LOL...I had become comfortable and lazy with my free time, but the idea of being just a 'drive around all day type of small time wholesaler' sounded less appealing, compared to some BP 'big players' talking about their latest plane :) So, license it is, to start in the game at least, even if I let go the license later on as my investing skills grow, it will be valid for at least two years once I got it, so I could make cash selling and build into an investor.Didn't have time to sit in a classroom and wanted to study at my own pace.

Im ok with the odds, but how can I win?

Is there an approach you've found effective to make it a win/win situation?

So, win-win for us, because we ended up getting the property but didn't have to raise our offer price.I have sometimes wondered that myself, whether they're really being honest about having multiple offers, but like others said, it's impossible to prove they're lying. 

Win win but it  is all about startegy!

Is there any way to consistently win in a multi-offer situation other than making the highest bid (and, thereby, accepting a leaner CoCR than every other bidder)?

Guess who wins that?

You would probably win legally but don't think it is worth the argument.IF this is a good tenant that pays on time and has been in the property for some time, I would probably pay the cost of repair and get them to acknowledge (in writing) that the opener will be considered an appliance going forward.

But having an easy win will be a good feeling, too, and may be helpful on the psychological side of things more than anything else.Would love to hear the thoughts of those who have a few under their belt and have had to wrestle with the variation of opportunity types.Thanks for any thoughts!
