Can I submit my own offer?

[Jonathan H.]

Hello,

Ive been seeing a few properties where the numbers come close to working at listing price. I would like to submit offers where the numbers would work in my favor.

Since I am in direct contact with the listing agents, I was curious to know how do I submit offers to him/her? Do I need someone with more expertise to do this for me?

Or do I just write out a letter as to what I want?
Is there a form?
Do I provide and excel sheet showing why I want the price lower?
List the repairs?
etc?

I feel like I know what I want to pay for this property and why, but do not know what information I should give the agent.

Thanks
