All good stuff, so I'll throw in my two cents, having interviewed several and rejected every one.It just seems like "Oh, you want a gun to shoot me with, AND you want me to load it before I give it to you."

The best thing you can start doing is making offers and start getting prepared for rejections; somtimes people might bark at you.

For example, all of my offers are put in as cash. 90% or more of those offers will be rejected because of my 30% profit margin figured into the offer.

I just don't like bothering him because about 90% of my offer from him get rejected and to ask for comps on a fsbo i don't think that would be good for our relationship. i'm located in the pa boones and most data bases are not here plus the homes can range from $15,000 to $400,000 I don't realy want to spend all day at the court house finding this information. thanks everyone.

If you make the offer in the right way, and the property it isn't everything the seller says it is, you can reject the deal with little or no loss.

1 Set a realistist list price for the property2 When you reject an offer please let the agent that it listed with know why it is rejected maybe we can bring the transaction together.3 Don't make us pay out of pocket for work done on the property and expenses to maintain it.4 Don't pay a reduced commission and require a referal fee5 Understand when we say the price is to high we can back it up and will and most likely already have.6 If it is in an area that we don't work let us reject the listing without fear that this is the last call we will get.( You don't want to know how much of a pain it is to drive 60 miles to drop off "all original paperwork")7 Don't sit on offers for a week without some kind of communication.

I fear rejection from banks trying to get a loan due to my credit and dumb mistakes I had in the past.

The key is how long will you persist until you succeed.Don't let one rejected offer kill you.

Face to face might be more intimidating (and you will get a lot more rejection) but getting belly button to belly button with any possible seller is going to give you your best results.

This process takes time, diligence, and patience and most of the time your offer gets rejected, and you get nothing out of the whole process, but some investors specialize in it.
