REO Property: Low offers on long sitting houses
I have found a property that is purchase price 73k
Market rent: $800
My offer: 65k
Cash flow $100+ at 12% COC return
3/2 1450 sqft
ready to move in (not turn-key) prior to purchase with no major work needed to be done EXCEPT future flooring due to cheap glue flooring in home.
IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 302+ days on MLS!!!!!!!
Should I lower the offer due to the home being on MLS for so long? or stay at 65k?
Are LONG Sitting REO properties motivated to sell for a bank?
LENDERS, BANKERS, LONG TIME INVESTORS, REO agents, and others I need advice

There's definitely a correlation between time on market and seller willingness to accept a lower offer. But I would offer whatever makes sense financially for you from a cash flow standpoint. $100/mo to me seems a bit low, regardless of the coc return.
