@V.G Jason but in a market like say phoenix has the have to sell percentage dropped?

One thing we all need to keep in mind is we're not long removed from the most absurd sellers market (mid 2020 through mid 2022) in American history, so we may have a skewed view of what a buyer's and seller's market actually are.  

Most sellers will take their property off the market if they can't get the price they want.

Everyone is targeting “motivated” sellers - com[edition in most markets is fierce.What’s needed is either (1) a LOT more money to spend on marketing than anyone else or (2) a unique approach that few are utilizing and that works. 

To find off-market properties, drive through areas where you want to live and find places that look distressed.

Not the biggest return as other marketing channels but this does give us some off market deals. 

Quote from @Stuart Tollison: Is it true that seller concessions can only be used toward closing costs and interest rate pay down?

I have also done a fair share of seller carry, I think you might be overcomplicating it. 

It prevents wholesalers and “Re-traders” from taking your property off the market and stealing the time it’s worth the most, the first weeks it’s listed. . 

I would like to request seller financing/deferred payment for the land which has been vacant and on the market for over a year.
