Delay the short sale by making a lot of counter offers. 3.

In the counter offer from the REO bank they clarified that no work would be allowed on the house before closing and all lender issues would need to be handled with escrow.

They came back in a counteroffer excepting "1" but not excepting "2" Would them excepting the first clause essentially cover us from the county.

Then his counter offer might be 80% , and your counter to that could be around 70%.  

I have sent back a counter-offer... 12% in 6 months for an unsecured deal - which would be $1800 on $15,000 which is appealing enough to me to offset the risk.

I'm stuck in a dilemma trying to decide if this is a good deal or not, and should I go through with the purchase.I came across a property that is for sale for 50K, the city has it accessed at $46,500 and after a few counter offers back and forth we're currently at $45,500.

I just made a counter offer today on a house in Tacoma and Im hoping it will be accepted.

BP’ers,I’m putting together a counter-offer on what could be my first rental property and I’m very excited.It's a fourplex but while trying to confirm the property tax amount (current and post purchase) I discovered the property is recorded with the county as a two-story duplex.

Are there anything I need to consider prior to submitting a counter offer?  

The worst they can do is come back at you with a counteroffer you don't like.
