Contingencies attached to an "offensive" offer

[David Marks]

Hi All,

In the podcast, David and Rob have been talking quite a bit about writing "offensively" low offers, with the goal of getting a counter offer in return. Has anyone had any success stories with this recently? What percent below asking price was the offer, what contingencies did you write, and what was the outcome?

Im hoping to ask ~20% below asking, but I don't think I am comfortable forgoing an inspection. Am I shooting myself in the foot by asking for inspection? I would also need FHA financing.

Thanks!

David
