When you have experience and understand that a listing agent doesn't represent you, you can go on your own, you might beat them down on the selling agent's commission.What is your intention, wholesale deals, buy and hold, rehab, each will carry a different level of potential profit, time, effort and knowledge along with costs.I can play the old investor guy with my hands in my jeans' pockets and low ball someone while kicking the dirt, but it's not that fruitful in reality.

Might not at all be representative of what your area does.Just wanted to point it out as a possibility.
