Justifying offers

Hi guy,

I am finding a lot of my offers are being refused. I am dealing mainly with sellers directly.

My offers are low...as they should be but not unreasonable, at least I don't think so. My question is what is a good way to justify your offer to the seller? I would like to include in my presentation to the seller the costs of selling your home through a realtor or trying to sell FSBO and relate this to how selling to me would be advantageous even though my offer is low.

Do you guys use these costs when presenting an offer to a seller? What are some other advantages in selling to me rather than going another route?

I really would appreciate any input you experienced investors could provide...thanks!

Joe S.
