Text message negotiations….thoughts?

[Amanda Sutherlin]

I've always thought it 'bad' to negotiate deals via text message, I personally would rather talk the old fashioned way over the phone or better yet face to face. I’m currently trying to negotiate an owner finance deal where the owner will just not call, I’ve asked a few times and she will always say she’d rather text only. I do believe there might be a language barrier.

What are your thoughts on negotiating via text messages?
