This is where if you are gonna be a salesman,you need to use your powers of persuasion.Find their pressure points and emphasize you are there to alleviate those pressures.Take control of the negotiations by gently reminding them that you want to buy but can move on to the next deal at anytime.You have to make them worry that if they don't cooperate and comply with your contingencies,you will walk on them.Why are they selling?

I am newbie here who has heard real estate is a great way to build long term wealth.I would like to get started but with a bad credit  history I find it extremely diffcult.Still the financial longevity well not only be statisfying but the peace as of mind will put me at ease.
