Rookie Q: How do I make an offer?

[Bronson Simmons]

I understand I need to include a $$ amount, but what kind of contingencies do people include to protect the buyer if it is accepted? I read in Brandon Turner's Multifamily book that you should use an estoppel. What contingencies have you used to cover yourself in the event your offer was accepted, but then you discovered something undisclosed that would minimize or evaporate cash flow?

Get a Real Estate agent that knows what they're doing and how to protect you.
