feel free to interact in the forums, meet some great people, and definitely provide more value to the community by sharing your thoughts, experiences, and of course, success stories!

sometimes, we never hear from them again.Our goal, is for them to at least reply with a counter offer, instead of them just saying that our offer "won't work," and leaving it at that.When it comes to dealing with fellow investors, we all know that there's usually some "wiggle room" for negotiations, thus getting a counteroffer from another investor happens all the time.Homeowners aren't always willing to counter, so therein lies the challenge.So my question:How do you go about encouraging homeowners to reply with a counter-offer if they don't like your initial offer?

Hence my use of the word "may" - as a passive SD IRA custodian and administrator, we always encourage our clients to seek the counsel of a qualified attorney and/or CPA before engaging in any transaction with their Self-Directed IRA.  

Set up a keyword alert for your area and interact with the other people in your area as much as possible.

I am starting from the ground up so any pointers/tips/warnings are encouraged :)

I look forward to interacting with the community!

I enjoy starting off stories, success or hardship stories or words on encouragement. 

Newbies like myself find encouragement when hearing best practices.

@Eva Poon Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Look forward to reading and interacting with everyone here.
