Reassuring answers to these questions will tell that if you have a property to offer, you'll be in a better position to resell it.

You will find many sellers are trying to offer owner finance to get an inflated price on a property to pay for their past mistakes.

And no, non-attorneys giving legal advice is not illegal, so don't feel the need to offer that disclaimer just to protect yourself...better to just say, "I'm not an attorney, but here's my free advice anyway..." :-)

I would be glad to offer any assistance.

I had a seller once give me a price $50k lower than what I was planning to offer for her 5 properties.

I also want to get into the investment side of what real estate has to offer.

We welcome any wisdom you have to offer and look forward to networking on this site.

I am hping to learn much from the info here and also hope to be able to offer much back in the future and make many friends.

I know you need an agent to offer to banks but most agents understandably do not want to spend the time and energy on this considering there is a good chance most offers are going to be rejected anyway.I would love to hear how others are making their offers.

My process is similiar to Chris Feltus. 1) Build rapport 2)Get a feel for their asking price or a range. 3) Either way, they are normally asking a little or a lot higher that what I am willing to offer. 4) I explain that we are here to provide solutions and we still have to make some type of profit (they appreciate honesty since nobody is nieve enough to think we do all this work for free).
