And your buyer is trying to low ball the home which any buyer would do.

Originally posted by @Joseph Crawford:@Nate Pucel one of my mentors says if you do not insult them on the first offer you offer was too high.That's good advice but should come with a disclaimer as well: Market conditions dependent and be careful to not build a reputation as a time waster to agents and sellers in your market as consistently extreme low ball offers can build you a poor rep. 

I'm always down to discuss different strategies, compare notes on a property with others, and really starting to get the ball rolling.

Would I approach with the same conversation as a wholesaler and same contracts or is this a whole different ball game?

This way you have the ball rolling, don’t be a sucker...

Also...let your agent know in advance what you are looking at doing and see if they are willing to play ball.

"Low ball" is in the eye of the beholder.  

We knew A) My dad would take care of the repairs, which means we would save a lot of $ by not having to pay a General Contractor, and B) all we had readily available was about $13,000 & C) there was an existing mortgage of $367,000 (In part 1 I was actually wrong... my apologies.

Eventually, turn the home we lived in, into a rental property and move into a different home; I figure that's how I get the ball rolling.

If you any other questions or to make sure your getting a a fair price let me know I can let you know if they are in the “fair” ball park.
