Low Ball Offers: How Low Have you Gone?

Drew Bursey

Hello Everyone,

I was looking at some properties and the numbers (based on the price and current rent) don't work for a decent ROI greater than 8%.
If the property was $20,000-$30,000 cheaper the numbers would work (8% ROI). Is that too low?
Have you offered a lot lower than the asking price? How much lower have you purchased a property for?

This will be my first property, would you suggest getting a property that has a decent ROI or would you recommend just getting a property that cash flows (say 4-5%ROI) so that I gain experience? I've watched Brandon Turner's videos and he wants a minimum of $100 per door, is that a minimum you go for as well?

Thanks
