The housing market has never been so competitive. Buyers are going head to head in bidding wars and trying to out-do one another with concessions. But when it comes to buyers that need financing and ones who offer cash, sellers often choose cash because it's quick and easy. In this episode, you'll hear from NerdWallet's Holden Lewis who talks about what borrowers can do to give themselves a fighting chance against cash buyers. Holden has reported on mortgages since 2001, working through a housing boom, the Great Recession, and the long recovery. He's also NerdWallet's authority on mortgages and real estate, and the former president of the National Association of Real Estate Editors. He's won various writing awards, and is rehabbing his Mom's house! He'll share some of his tips for people with loans and what they can do to make their offers more attractive to sellers.Join RealWealth today at realwealthshow.com to find out how to build wealth with new and renovated single-family rentals.
