First Purchase - Tips for getting the deal

[Nicholas Corey]

Hello Everyone,

This past weekend we made an attempt to purchase a home at asking price. We were using a mortgage to pay for everything and stated a 14 day due diligence period. We lost the bid and did not get the home.

My question, do y’all have any advice on how to persuade or convince the seller to sell to us rather than someone else?

I want to make sure we are approaching this the best way possible with the money we have.
