What should I put in my offer?

[Chuck Rhodus]

I’m looking to make an offer on my first investment property very soon. I am deciding on a few choices. It could be a house or it could be an apartment building, not sure yet. A little advice here if you can help me. What are important things that you feel should be in my offer? My real estate broker does not have a lot of experience in this field and I have no experience in this field. He may do a good write up but regardless I wanted input from investors.Any recommendations to put it in my offer in writing would be appreciated.

A cash offer & earlier closing date almost always looks great and gives you more negotiating power.

I think a duplex might be a good choice to start with.
