Accordingly, upon completion of a subject property, if there is no end-buyer an investor may incur several costs and penalties that are not conducive to their bottom line.

In fact, a performing buyers list will not only help you sell your properties faster, but it will contribute to higher profit margins.
Ultimately, investors should make an attempt to continually grow their buyers list. Even in the absence of a property, investors should focus their attention on establishing relationships that can be added to their potential list. Regardless of your exit strategy, however, it will always be beneficial to have a tool like this at your disposal. Of course, you must first learn how to create one before you can use it.
