Buying duplex which went off market

[James M.]

Hey Bpers, I need some advice/expertise from you experienced gurus! Long story short, I’ve been trying to buy a duplex in which I made an offer on, but neither the seller nor I would budge, the seller needs up getting asking price, goes under contract, the buyer backs out, and now the property has been taken off mls. I’m prepared to give the seller asking price, however after speaking directly to the seller they say they aren’t interested any more. I truly think the property is a great buy and therefore I really want to pursue this thing hard. Any suggestions as a strategy to get the seller back to the table? I always here about guys on the podcasts preaching persistence and I think this is one of those opportunities where there isn’t much to lose by trying to be persistent.
