@Bob B. He just said he was trying to sell it and I see what I did wrong in this situation as well now.

@Brian Ploszay yeah that’s what I heard, but I will be trying to present the offer a little better next time as well, I’m still new to the real estate game.

So I just went and talked to a person about a potential house to buy. We met at the house, he shows me around, we are talking and I’m building rapport. The house needed some work and it wasn’t too much work. Then we sat down I said “we are investors and we won’t offer you retail price.” Then gave him my offer. He then got REALLY offended, told me the offer was highway robbery and said he isn’t ready to sell. It was a reasonable offer and he didn’t want to let it go for under top dollar!

@Share Ross great advice! Thank you, I will be getting that book for sure.

Hi everyone and happy new year, I’m new to BP. My name is Michael I’m just starting out in the real estate investing business. I’ve never done a deal, wholesale, rental, selling or buying a house. So what’s some advice starting out as a newbie?
