I'm trying to reach an account manager to negotiate a sale price, what they're claiming is owed is more than the market value of the house.I should also mention that my neighbors lawyer seems to think that he is no longer eligible for our state's foreclosure avoidance program because they never went and got help years ago when the finance company would have sent them letters for it.

I am definitely most hung up on trying to outline a good process/workflow for the buying process from negotiations to closing and everything in between.

So just keep working with individual investors.Remember that while the local expertise and skill in buying and selling homes, negotiating, etc. is hard to replace, the actual license that entitles them to save on commissions is not.

Basically about negotiations . people have mixed thoughts on preforeclosures they will tell you being new to stay away.

I've got this real sweet owner finance deal negotiated with my seller.

Hopefully, a few letters and maybe a face-to-face negotiation could result in a compromise, and you'd only be out of pocket the attorney's fees.Having said all this, something doesn't seem right.

His concern is that buyers use inspections to negotiate a lower price after th einspection but in reality he does not have to negotiate.

Im pretty happy about it but at the same time frustrated because i dont have much room to negotiate much deferred maintenance.

I was just wondering what are some methods other investors use when talking to a seller. 

They were not, however, easy to "get" and required skillful negotiation.
