Just Make the Offer

As an Investor, I sometimes wonder if the offers I am making are low enough

and even contemplate whether sellers may even be offended by a low offer.

Recent events have sort of changed my thought process on this.

Recently I closed a deal where the seller had to bring over $42,000 to

the closing table, to cover the difference between my offer and the balance

of their mortgage. The truth is that I didn't think they would accept my offer,

but they did! Apparently the sellers had recently inherited some money

And were willing to do whatever it took to move on. I had heard about

others putting deals like this together, but thought they were few and far between.

So, I would encourage everyone in BP Community to always go ahead and make

That offer that works best for you. It could result In a great deal for you,

That may not appear to make sense in the beginning.
