I found it myself on Redfin and gave a low ball offer, the bank countered a little higher and we accepted.

Master developers will likely low-ball you an offer if the demand is there.

IF THEY WANT TO TAKE UP AN EXTRA 20 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND JUST TALK, BE A DECENT PERSON AND LISTEN.This guy was an old-timer, well-off and he said he just liked us because we confirmed times to show up for viewing the house and never tried to act too cool for the property or totally low-ball him.

You’re not doing him any favor by paying him whatever low ball amount you’re thinking of....he can let it go tax sale and probably get $150k.

Good to hear I'm not completely off the ball.

The heat didn’t work on the property and the temperature has fallen below 10 degrees here in Chicago.

@Richard Moreno $3500 is in the ball park but a little on the high side.

I'm eager to get my feet wet and get started, I've educated myself enough to take my first step and get the ball rolling.

I anticipate the internal box temperature may reach 800 degrees.

I personally would take a higher interest rate to get the ball rolling.
