Strategy for making offer $$$

[Wesley C Smith]

Hey everyone. I am new to the real estate game and am looking at my first deal. I am wondering if there is any strategy to making an offer on a property as far as the amount I offer. Is there a hard and fast rule based on a percentage? Does it just depend on the market and comps and no guideline exists? I am looking at a property listed for $45,000 of that is helpful. Thank you!
