Thanks Bigger Pockets! 2nd offer not rejected immediately!

[Kathy Moser]

While explaining why he was rejecting my first offer the seller also mentioned his young daughters wanting Corgis but that they already had 2 dogs.    A recent BP podcast was on giftology, especially gifts for the family.This is what my second offer looked like.

My first offer was presented in a binder with table of contents, including offer, proof of funds, tax return, credit score, rental and "as is" comps, rental and refi calculations, business plan and more.  They rejected it but there's no way they didn't think it was a serious offer.

Also thanks to BP and the rookies boot camp I made 2 offers this time, giving better terms to the one I wanted.Two meticulously researched, thoughtfully crafted offers I worked on with my lawyer and realtor. First offer he rejected immediately saying it was too low by half. This offer he sent a text full of exclamation points thanking me for the gifts and saying he wanted a few days to digest my new offers. Definitely progress!
