Mistakes Investors Make When Dealing With Sellers.
Today, we'll go over a few blunders to avoid when dealing with sellers as a real estate investor looking to buy.
1. Concentrating on a Non-Seller
The first is putting too much effort into a seller who is not a seller. This brings me back to one of my favorite principles, the 80/20 Rule or Pareto principle. In the real estate space, or when acquiring deals, focus 80 percent of your time on the 20 percent that will actually produce results. That is only one example.
You want to target someone whose property is in distress and whose owner is eager to sell it. Maybe they just inherited it, or they recently relocated and are tired of managing it, or they need the money to cover an unexpected expense, or something along those lines. Another example would be an owner who has a deadline to sell for some reason, whether it's now or in the next few months.
2. Making Use of the Same Pitch
The second error is repeating the same ...

Nearly 40% of Americans, according to CNBC, cry while selling their homes. That sounds like a recipe for a mental health crisis and a potential divorce. Here are my top five suggestions for selling a home in 2021 to help you avoid that.
Best Home Selling Advice
1. Locate your agent.
Should you work with an agent or an iBuyer? I believe that one day, iBuyers will take over the real estate industry and render me irrelevant, so I pay more attention to OpenDoor stock than I do to my husband. But that time has not yet come.
iBuyers are still not a good deal for the seller, so do your research. They are motivated to pay you much less than market rates because they take much larger commissions than the local market (they just go by another name, like experience charge or credit). A conventional real estate agent still makes more sense for the time being.
2. Get ready for the sale.
The buyer should cover the cost of the inspection and take care of any significant problems. Th ...
