What to offer someone when wholesaling?

[Austin Ralls]

I am looking at wholesale deals and getting into that aspect of investing and am trying to get good flip and hold deals that way instead of from the MLS. Any advice on how to go about making an offer on these homes when someone contacts me that isn't an insult to that owner? I have looked at the market value on the assessors website for most of the homes but am looking for advice on how to offer the owner something that is beneficial for me as well as the next investor that may hold it or fix and flip it.
