Generally I don’t advise it unless the buyer is a master in negotiation tactics because I don’t want my buyer to overpay simply because they had too many beers and let something slip that put them in a weaker negotiating position.

Do not believe in most sales tactics used on the internet. 

@Cheryl Packham Wow...those are some higher-level negotiating tactics I wouldn't have thought of.

im thinking of taking the (less convincing) tactic of saying “I have a no pet policy and gonna to have to raise rent by 25% (also true per market)”.  

My advice— stop reading so many books and forum threads and take a no BS class or course on deal finding tactics and finding cash buyers.

I hate that tactic because once they get you to sign the bottom line they go out and cherry pick the best houses that they want to insure.

This is a common tactic done as you essentially get a free loan for 60 days.

You can investigate other tactics and more substantial investments when you have more expertise and self-assurance.2.

I'm either thinking a) submit my max offer or b) raise my offer price to 105k.I'm leaning towards raising my offer to 105k as them rejecting my offer is a good negotiation tactic on their part.
