Had an interesting time today. Did the rounds of some local real estate agents, explaining what I was looking for in an investment property and why.
I have to say I was very underwhelmed by their response. I was suggesting prices about 10k either side of median, and I've seen plenty of properties listed at those levels recently, and yet all of them said "nothing on the books, we don't often get properties at those prices".
Am I doing something wrong here? I didn't walk in and say I want to buy properties 20% less than the listed price or anything, I purely stated a price range I was looking to buy in and described a type of property that regularly sells in that range.
A couple did comment that they've had a rush on in the last few weeks (post interest rate stampede?) and were short on stock.
I'm just a bit lost right now! I even mentioned I was planning to buy a number of properties, as a carrot, and none got the slightest bit enthused. I thought I sounded like a good prospective, ongoing regular buyer!!
I'm at a loss what I did wrong. Did I even do anything wrong?
Keep smiling
