What % do you offer for a duplex under the listing?
Hey Everyone
I have been looking at a few duplex’s in my area, and I have seen a couple that are interesting but when I analyze them the cash flow is not good. I want to give an offer but for a price that works.
From your experience when offering is there a certain % below offering that you typically will offer?
What if the home has been on the market for 9 months? Are there any tips you recommend?

@Habbak Burs Every listing has a price that makes it worth it to YOU. I recommend that you focus more on what price makes it a good deal for you rather than a specific % below asking price. You will get lots of rejections for low ball offers, so make lots of offers and expect rejection. Last thing you want to do is overpay for something and then struggle to keep it alive.
