Additionally, if I offered previously and the answer was No, I go back and offer again 3 - 4 weeks later and keep repeating until it sells to someone else or we can at least get into a counter offer situation. 

Hoping for some feedback - in the counter offer stage of this deal.

The property was in the process of counter offers when I called agent.

It took about 5 days between each time I made an offer or counter offer for them to respond - so a total of 3 weeks to come to an agreed price.

If they do want to sell they should present a counter offer. 

Lastly, making two offers, one in cash and another being financed simply tells me that you have that amount of cash to work with and my counter offer will be more cash down, with a higher price financed.

Most people don't no how to negotiate, so I make an offer, they say no, and do not offer a counter even though I ask if they have a counter offer.

All the more reason not to give it up until after acceptance and some due diligence.Finally, If the counter offer you receive back includes addendums that put deed restrictions on how fast you can sell or for how much, then do not make the offer unless that works with your plans and exit strategies.

Cut your losses counter offer and settle unless the amount is absurd.One of my lawsuits ran $150,000 in legal fees because I wouldn't settle for $2,000,000.

I agree with you in that each different asset company can operate slightly differently when it comes to administration, paperwork, certain time and bid period processes, as well as the counter offers inviting people to bid higher.
