Just recently this property has been reduced to 17995, I have never received a counter offer, so when you low ball on a property, how do you know the realtor isn't saying in his mind they will never accept, or I'm not going to waste my time.

There's bats, balls and a bunch of guys running around.

I COMPLETELY agree with @Scott Meyers ....I'd be skeptic of GOOD properties in Muncie, much less the bad ones.Muncie was rather affluent 100 years ago, but aside from Ball State being there, there's not much left...certainly nothing to be optimistic about in regard to a market turn in the next few decades.IMHO, I'd pass, for no other reason than the market.

So far out of the three people who came through we have 1 offer submitted and 1 email from another potential buyer stating they are interested and asked for a contract they can use to submit an offer.The offer submitted is lower than we hoped but the first offer is usually a low ball offer.I am meeting another interested buyer at the house tonight!

The challenge is where and how to find the motivation needed to get the ball rolling.What I have found to work for me:a) take it easy on myself, big changes in life roles, big changes in identity TAKE TIME, it is okay to be in transitionb) experiment with changing up the daily routine,c) schedule 10 to 20 minutes of quiet reflection at the beginning of the day and 5 to 10 minutes before bed to ask myself, "how's it working for me?

Again, this will put you right in the ball park of where you need to be.Buyer.Yes, you should target those builders in the neighborhood.Drive the neighborhood with a notepad and write down all of the active builders there to call later and try to sell to.

as a ball player you should know its important to hit a lot of singles instead of just going for home runs Good Luck

She is really on the ball and owns several rental properties herself.

If you are still unsure, just low ball like crazy, and include and inspection period in your offer to make sure you have an out.

Less than 3 weeks after purchase of the first condo and 3 days after purchase of the second the building qualified for financing, and subsequent sales have been in the $240 per foot range.The third condo was the last unit sold by the sponser and he accepted my crazy low ball offer which was about 25% less than I would have been ultimately willing to pay.
