Post: Making a win offer in todays market

Hey All... Thought this might be an interesting post considering the roller coaster market we are currently in.  Curious your thoughts on how I could have approached an offer I recently made on a property or if you have any insight on how a buyer should approach putting an offer in on a property they really like.  Purely for example, I was really excited about a property listed at 199k so placed a cash offer with zero contingencies of 205k thinking it would be a solid offer.  Seller took two days to collect offers and wrote us later saying offer was "in the running" but could we do better, they also said 225K would lock it in.  I am really kicking myself now, but I countered with 212k and lost the property - I was comfortable paying up to 220.  Obviously every market is different, but just in general in todays market how do you approach this?   Is the "throw your best offer on the table" right out of the gate the best approach?   I feel any desirable property rarely goes for asking price.  Curious on your insight.. 

Hey All - Looking to purchase a rental property, condo or single family, in the Lawerence, Massachusetts area.  If anyone specializes in this area or is a realtor in the area would love to pick your brain on how I should approach it!  Thank you.

@Scott

@Account Closed I live in Milwaukee and although I have not invested in this area yet, I have also been forming a strategy - I have some capital, as well as the desire to make something happen.  May be worth chatting and I would be happy to answer any questions you have about the city to the best of my ability!  Thanks! undefined

@Aaron 

@Aaron K. thank you for reaching out - I have a friend in upstate NY who has done very well with quick condo flips, brrr method single family ect.  That area has a really high demand for rentals with solid cash flow.  I ended up purchasing a condo in Poughkeepsie, NY - the area is developing as well in my opinion.

@Donald D Michna - Thank you Kindly for the REI tip! I will def be checking this out. Also appreciate your response - I did end up purchasing a property in the Kingston area of upstate NY. That area has a high demand for rentals and properties (condos) are moving really fast. It's funny I shamefully still haven't invested here near home. That is my next project ha. Thanks again!

@Aaron Klatt Greatly appreciate the input, looking for a rental property - preferably under 70k, but open if in a rentable and disieable area, I would be renting it out from Milwaukee, WI - thought maybe there would be a realtor in the area on here - would pay cash

Hi All! Looking to purchase a condo in upstate New York preferably the Ulster County area, any direction on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

@Ramon Jenkins Thank you!  @Corina Eufinger You'll be happy to know the Downtown Community has, in my opinion, grown tremendously in the the past five years.  Great little shops and restaurants! @Drew Markert  & @Sam Erickson Appreciate the warm welcome!

@Tim Martin Thank you!  A good friend and mentor lives in that area and recommended it, but also cautioned against certain parts.  I will definitely reach out and look forward to chatting!
