Creative Negotiations: In your recent deals, what creative tactics have you used to negotiate successfully on behalf of your clients?

@Russ Mooneyhan, to answer your question, and summarize a lot of the responses below: No, there is no specific tactic that people use.  

It seems like if I wanted to buy direct from the HOA, I could play the scare tactic card.

These are the type of tactics they use. 

Well, the standard tactic is to use a skip tracing service to find a property owner's phone number.

I don't like their tactic.

If you want to invest out of state, make sure you do your homework well and assemble a reliable team of experts.Remember that there isn't a single solution that works for everyone, and prosperous investors have used both in-state and out-of-state tactics.

House hacking tactics consist of renting out rooms, investing in multi-family properties, increasing property value, and either self-managing or hiring a property management firm.

Also open to strategies/tips/tactical advice for a new commercial agent with a Saas sales background :)Thank you ALL!

Other than being persistent in speaking  with underwriting, are there some tactics I could use If I'm not approved for the entire amount?
