Not to be totally right but to have a ball park idea.

It's the bank so to me it's some large un emotional entity so I have no shame low balling them.

Minor league ball does not allow for financial freedom AT ALL so I worked to attain my real estate license last year.

@Michael O'Connell I cant help you out with the B-Ball but I do suggest listening to the podcasts. 

It is technically for sale for 688,000 but I would low ball a little bit and I know I could get it for 650,000.

Yea I asked him a couple times what he wanted but he insisted that I just give him whatever price I felt comfortable with which makes me want to low ball.

So I'm trying to take a step, any step, any piece of action to get the ball rolling in the REI court.

I am eager to learn the ins and outs of real estate and am reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, by Gary Keller to get the ball rolling.My goal is to own my first property by September 2016, and from what I have read and seen thus far a 'Buy and Rent' strategy sounds most appealing and an area I will focus on to start out.Although reading and learning about something is great, nothing compares to getting out there and doing it.

Most don't like them only because of the nature of the deals they're trying to get...pennies on the dollar or low ball offers.

And having a ball doing it.
