Negotiating with a Seller for a Potential Wholesale Deal
It's been an intense 2 months since my business partner and I started our wholesale business.
We dove straight into building a large list of buyers within our area, following by sending out
1,000 mailers to Tax Delinquent addresses. After a few bad leads, we've finally landed one.
The COMPs show us the property is worth about 168K and we scheduled
a meeting for tomorrow morning. The Seller wants 150K, but our Comparative Market Analysis
shows us we need to present him with an offer of at least $121,500. I personally know buyers
that'll buy this ASAP. The question is...how do we present this to him in a way where we don't
come across as though we're extremely low-balling him? Afterall -any educated investor wouldn't
buy it at a higher price. Property is 12 years old and there seem to be no pricey renovations
needed. The seller is in foreclosure so he needs to sell in just *5 days*.
Any input would be much appreciated.
