No negotiating with sellers, no offer, no counter offer, and no networking.And if you don't want to go to the sales, and I've seen this done, the prospective bidders will send somebody else to bid, maybe their attorney, to bid for them.Then when they sell, they list the property with a Realtor.So somebody else does the buying for them and somebody else does the selling for them.

A typo he never corrected. 4.75% is with 20% down (at a higher counter offer price too). 5% is with 15% down.

She's waiting on my response or counteroffer.

Why would anyone, wanting to buy a mobile home in an area where this is legal or enforceable, ever even bother to come and make an offer, let alone a counter offer that would be to the benefit of the home seller?

A simple call to the city inspector will answer that.All that being said, if you are high bidder and don't meet the reserve, the seller will generally make you a counter offer.  

Brandon Hall I currently have a contract in on a promising buy and hold rental property with a motivated seller that's looking good to close in early January if the sellers accept the restructure of their counter offer.

An update:  The listing agent came back w/ a counteroffer from the bank: They suggested that I take care of testing, and if anything comes back contaminated, they'll handle remediation. 

I figured if I could get it at $115,000 I could repair front stoop, paint, carpet, repair small drywall holes, replace a few fixtures and pay realtor fees to sell and still make enough to satisfy me for my efforts.I made an offer of $101,000 with $500 deposit to HUD.HUD countered stating "minimum acceptable net to HUD offer amount for this property as $133,875".That was too much to make any profits so I sulked and waited a few days since that was over Thanksgiving.A few days later the HUD website shows HUD accepted an offer at $112,800.So my question is -- are the HUD counter offers meaningless?

Just so we can update our system.Now, I’m pretty sure that auctiondotcom or any other online auction company has the rights/authorization to submit counter offers on behalf of the seller(in this case the bank).

He did everything he promised, explained practically the whole contract to me and counter-offers, came to closing, and was overall very easy to reach.
