Supply and Demand and the NEWS....

Dg-ers,

I am not an authority on the news; I can say I rarely watch, but people manage to tell me news when they think I should know it! I do however, listen to banter, comments and any talk from the trenches I can get.

Especially right now because my ratio is slipping badly. I'm offering higher than I normally do, sweetening my deals more than I have before, and getting rejected, here and in Reno. My buyers and competitor associates are saying yea-- it's tough, but my buyers aren't up-ping there max criteria enough, so I'm deal poor right now.

There's been talk of an investor (or group) negotiating with BoA here in Vegas on a $70M SFR deal. My source is a broker, not sure beyond that. The talk is they want to buy at 40¢/dollar. I did the math and it works out to 1,000 average FC props.

At first I thought, man! that kind of a deal would mess with my performance ratio as a wholesaler and rehabber. BUT, then I thought...
two things could happen if this deal went through:

1) by BoA accepting an offer on the tape of 40¢ on the dollar and they hold/rent the lot prices will go down (good for us, we'll get more deals at low prices)

2) by BoA accepting an offer on the tape of 40¢ on the dollar and the they put them back on the market, inventory will increase and although the price per each will go up to say, 60¢ for us to buy them, the inventory will go up because these props were not on the market (good for us, we'll have more props to buy/sell AND the supply will keep the prices in check

So, it's a good thing.

It goes on. Then there is an investor I know of (the owner of another brokerage I work with) that plans on (or desires) buying a tape of 300 props locally.

Same outcome; only good things.

Anyone care to debate the scenario? Agree? Other thoughts?

How's the supply and demand elsewhere from the trenches?
