We were in Croatia for 8 days when we had the offer in and did not go to Croatia planning to buy an apartment.

I'm considering making an offer on a property that is listed as a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath as a long term buy and hold property to add to my portfolio. 

Offer a significant discount for 1 week and 30 day stays (after setting your daily rate to accommodate the price drop with discount).

It is not a scam, but you will have a very hard time finding a deal that is worth working with them, and frankly you are going to have to find someone that does not understand at all what their property is worth and get them to accept a super lowball offer to make it worth it. even then their points and fees will eat up so much that getting the 10% down loan will have a much much higher profit margin. 

Come to think of it, though, I can't imagine why they wouldn't let me perform one just to understand how much I can offer.  

I only have one that seemed to fail to launch.What I do get more is I offer to run a newbie through a transaction and/or show them the work in progress and I get either no show or barely show. 

That way, when you’re ready to make an offer, you'll be all set and confident to move fast.

It automatically get county information, shoots out numbers to offer, text message, call, schedule walk throughs, email.

@Tayvion Payton   -  my guess is that you are still too far off the price, at least in the interim but it is always good to put in an offer, because they may come back to you down the road. 

Thanks for offering your perspective Joel.
