1st offer is harder than you think

[Lennie Holland]

After performing my due diligence of running the numbers/comps like 15 times on my first lead. I meet with the seller and gave him my offer price and was aggressively denied, I'm pretty sure I pissed him off. It was a learning experience.

I never thought it would be that hard to look a seller in the eye and give such a low offer but @%#$ that was hard. I negotiate projects/sales/deals all the time at work, without a problem. It's just different to me when talking to a home owner. I'm sure I will get accustom to it with time.

I also took to long to really close the deal. I wasn't really ready yet but this deal fell in my lap and I botched it by taking 3 weeks to get my numbers straight. Oh well better luck next time and it was great practice.

I'm stronger for it, on to the next one.
