In today’s tight real estate market, there is a smart way for buyers to find hidden gems — even when bidding wars are happening on similar houses. This episode reveals how to locate overlooked homes, called "leftover properties", and what makes them such great opportunities.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• ✅ What “leftover properties” are — and why they’re often hidden in plain sight
• 🏠 Real examples of properties incorrectly labeled “off-grid” but still fully connected to utilities
• 💡 Why a simple listing error (like an old carpet or incorrect description) can scare off other buyers
• 🛠️ The power of visual inspections and what a general contractor can help uncover — even when inspections are waived
• 🏘️ Common listing errors you should watch for:
  • Wrong number of bedrooms or bathrooms
  • Mistyped square footage (e.g., 140 instead of 1400)
  • Incorrect property type (e.g., single-family listed as condo or multifamily)
• 🔍 How to remove filters in your MLS or Zillow search to spot hidden opportunities
• 📱 Using apps like LandGlide to uncover property records, owner info, and extra lot data
• 🧰 How to conduct an "informal" inspection during a second showing — even if formal inspections are waived
• 📷 Tips for dealing with misuploaded photos and listings that don’t reflect the true condition or layout of a home
• 🏗️ How to look beyond what’s “wrong” and see what can be done with a house (like converting a screen porch to a den)
• 💬 Why most buyers miss out due to poor imagination or reliance on filters — and how to beat them to great deals

🔑 Key Takeaway:
Stop filtering out listings. Start looking for errors, poor marketing, or small cosmetic issues that others see as deal-breakers. That's where the hidden value lives.
