Is this a good deal for me?

[Elijah Crowder]

 Hi, Everyone I've found a property that has a AVR value of $103,000-$140,300 and the original value of the home is $122,000, but they're asking for $83,900.Is this a good deal for me? Viewing the property tomorrow. Any advice helps.

"Original Value" is a meaningless number. I don't know about Arlington values, but that would seem high, in my area, the way I buy.

Ask them to write (on a yellow pad, which you conveniently have), exactly what they would accept. Then, look at it. Just look at it-for a long time.

Listen, more than you talk.

I can't read motivation, in your brief notes. If sellers aren't motivated, leave a written offer and move on, and don't look back. I have had such offers accepted as long as two years after. Don't be the motivated person in the yard.
