The real estate market is highly competitive, and if you want to succeed, it is important to understand how to make your offers stand out from the rest. What can you do to boost the frequency of you getting your foot in the door for multiple deals?   In this episode of Raising Private Money, I let you in on the three ways to blow your competition out of the water that I’ve learned over the years: offering all cash, providing a fast closing, and making a clean offer. Tune in! Key Takeaways: Three ways to get more of your offers accepted: #1 offer cash, #2 offers fast closing, and #3 make your offer as clean as possible. The majority of off-market owners will not sell on terms and prefer cash offers. Using private money can help you get more offers accepted by helping you come up with enough cash for cash offers. Having an amazing relationship with the real estate attorney to do the title search can help you offer a fast closing. Unique selling point strategies, such as offering for the seller to stay in the property rent-free, can make your offer stand out. Removing contingencies and appraisals can make your offer more attractive to the seller. Use comparative market analysis to accurately determine the value of a home.
