But for most buyers, the goal is to make your offer better than the other offers on the table, so you actually get the deal you are after.Look at it this way - Assume for the moment you are the seller, and you receive four offers:1.

What is it you bring to the table? 

Either way we get it done for 250ish, MAX, All the best  I guess that laborers make minimum wage in your area , and the companies pay under the table and have no insurance .   

When I was an OOS investor (originally from San Francisco, CA), I was able to take advantage of what the program brings to the table thanks to my property manager.

I can bring some cash and outstanding credit to the table as well for JVs, partnerships, etc.Anyway, welcome.

Of course, sometimes it's difficult to sell a house this way if you have alot of equity since the buyer will have to come to the closing table with that amount of money before assuming the loan.   

The process went like this.1. marketing company in LA had a 1 hour radio show on the Big AM radio station there ever Sat. morning 9 to 10.. it was called the Radio round table and you had Mortgage brokers running it they would then talk about parts of the country were real estate was far cheaper than LA.. this drove hundreds of leads.

The table in the book does not match the text.

First: Define “good.”Second: Why would any owner want to leave money on the table, especially money sufficient enough to make a market deal a “good” deal for the buyer?

The only negatives with an assumable loan is that they take longer to close, 60-90 days generally, and you would also need to come to the table with a little cash to cover the sellers equity (if any) and some other closing costs.
