Making Offers Tips/Advice - whats your style?

[Isaac El]

I have been calling home owners of distressed properties and I can get to the appointment, I am struggeling a bit on making offers, owner has one price in mind, lets say $500k, but property is really worth $300k and right away they shut it down, even after explaining, repair values and other costs associated it with it.

Want to see what other tips/advice or different ways people make offers to buy.

@Isaac El

When we have a unmotivated - or not sufficiently motivated - vendor we will often table our offer as open ended (with no expiration).  If the vendor sells for the {initial} price they want, good for them.  If they do not, we will be happy to receive their call or e-mail several months down the road.
