Buying a VA foreclosure/making an offer

[Lucy Rowens]

When dealing with a house being sold by the VA, HUD or Fannie Mae, etc., how many times should I submit a counter offer if they don't accept the 1st offer before moving on to other properties and why would they be counter-offering my offer when they know or are aware that there's more properties in the area being sold that I would have a choice for? Could it be they're 'hiding' something about the property that they don't want bidders to find out about? Thanks
