The ones that have canceled were at high risk of losing jobs and were buying properties that needed some immediate rehab investment.

Ended up losing half the house and total gut job.

Since you're paying all cash, I wouldn't close...you have too much to lose.

I hate to say it but i think a lot of people that preach BRRRR and leverage their rentals to the brim will lose their pants during these crises.

Trying to decide if the guy losing it or being a bit humorous. 

I don't think there is any one job that can do it for large multi-family.It's a very large disparate body of knowledge, although "If you got the dough, you got the go" could be said, where you buy and learn on the job. 

That's my only concern, now I am bidding against these guys and losing work (already lost 2 major remodels) because these clowns are coming in at 25% of my prices.

If I wanted to buy this property I wouldn't have any grounds for eviction and I would be stuck with these leases for another 9 months losing money every month which I could afford but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

So no need for foreclosure / short sales specialization anymore.2) Phoenix is like ground zero for all things tech real estate, and any seller in the lower price ranges (sub $300's) can get an offer from OfferPad, OpenDoor, Zillow Instant Offers, etc. with the click of a button. 3) Agents would much rather try to get business from an open house than knock on someone's door who's about to lose their house due to death, illness, job loss, divorce, etc.You may meet some people at a local real estate investment group, but you're probably better off looking to connect with wholesalers who have direct access to the property. 

I would rather keep raising the rent gradually ($20-30 per year) instead of locking it and losing that bit of rental income.
