Which sure could happen, maybe a buyers market going on, really desperate seller.

The seller obviously is not desperate.

I'm glad you feel better that I am "prowling" around trying to keep wholesalers from screwing desperate sellers.

So, if it is just a numbers game, and firing off multiple offers looking for something to stick is your strategy, then be prepared to write alot of offers.In my experience, unless the Seller is desperate, an offer less than 10% will backfire on you, as the Buyer. 

The reason is that you could be put into a desperate situation which is not good and you also run the risk of not locating a buyer in time and thus, not performing on your purchase.

Well Look at the email I just got this morning:Look how motivated they are.Is it a coincidence that just today as I see your message I also get a desperate seller?

"I want to believe him because I really need the money…"Please recognize that you're desperate.

I suspect your student walks away after having taken a desperate sellers options away for a month, and the seller is screwed.Don't make offers if you cannot close.

But if the seller is really desperate, you can ask pretty much anything & the seller will do whatever you ask.

As governments get more desperate for money, they may decide to take YOUR property whether your actions are legal within your state.
