Great question. As a realtor/birddog/investor, I don't have a problem with low-balling on a regular basis, but don't think it's always the answer. I think it's important to know the value of a property and what margin of profit you need to make and then to make offers on the properties that make the best sense for you within the established parameters.
The number of offers you make isn't nearly as important as the quality of them and whether you get responses or not. If your realtor/birddog is sending you tons of properties, then one or both of you need to narrow down the search and begin searching for more specific deals.
This means you won't be making as many offers, you'll be keeping your realtor/birddog happier and you'll be making better offers because it makes sense to offer more sometimes to ensure that you get the deal.
