I offered the full listing price and paid a decent down payment though, so make sure the numbers still work if you have to offer full price.

I still want to keep looking though, that's why I want to make some lowball offers on other properties.Him: that's fine, but sending an email message saying "my client wants to offer $50k less than you're asking - how do you feel about that - should we even submit an official offer?"

Maybe better to offer a catchy gift for bringing the buyer: trip to the Carribean, or a new car or something equally desirable.

They will give you the leads so you don't have to offer more than the highest bidder.

I need your input on this investment that I want to offer to private investors, let me know if you think this sounds fair.

We are still at zero I would say.2) Will the fact that they already have a higher offer in their system and they know that a buyer was already willing to offer that much, make it a lot harder for them to approve a low ball offer I will make as an investor?

If you decide on an ebook you may want to offer to have someone interview you and then have it transcribed.

Settle down for terms other than negotiation, such as payment for the repairs to offer a discounted price.

Would it be a good idea to offer cash to get the deal and then maybe take out a line of credit on the property at a good rate afterwards?

I understand that he would not be doing this for free, and would want to set terms so that he could make a profit, and benefit from what we have to offer.
