You’re making the classic mistake of pursuing a deal just because the property owner didn’t give you a quick no.If you want to pursue for some reason just make them an offer that’s good for you and after they reject it you can go forward with finding a deal that can be purchased at an “investor” price - or at “investor” terms.Here’s my bias - I don’t waste my time worrying about how much the seller paid, how much he invested, how much he owes, the asking price, what his motivation is (which is probably a lie or “half truth” anyway), whether he’ll be “insulted” by my offer, whether he’ll “like” me or “hate” me.
