I have been an active real estate agent for the past 9 years, recently I decided to come over to " The Dark Side " and learn how to play the other side of the field, found Bigger Pockets....its great!

If you want to play the appreciation game, why dont you invest in San Fran or NY instead?

Hi, if you must play the highest and best game, here's what I say; $1,000.00 over the highest offer received up to $XXX,XXX.00, on or before xxst of August, 2010, with such offer being from a qualified buyer.

Not sure how he's getting that evaluation, but if he's just fishing I'll play the waiting game.Originally posted by @Evan Polaski:@Isaac Johnson, for most sellers, price is almost all that matters.  

This sometimes is a way to try to get more money.Here is my advice:1) Play the game harder.

Wes,I never play the highest and best game because I know that I can get another deal.However, if you believe that there is not another deal as good as this one then you have to decide if you are willing to pay the extra $$'s.I have had times where I believed that the listing agent was holding my offer long enough to bring in another buyer.

But I have been wanting to play the cash flow game and even more excited to rub shoulders with fellow real estate investors.

The only issue I see is having to play the $1289.58/mo (plus insurance/taxes) until I find a buyer.

I learned you just have to wait and play the game but a 50% offer is only a low ball offer if someone else is willing to pay significantly more for it.

I hesitate to have them play the witholding rent game, especially without even sending the property management a written compliance notice zo should they just send one each month until theyve lined up a place to live.Thanks!
