Help me to make better offers.

I'm going to be making offers soon, what's the best plan of attack? Right now my plan is to just toss out a crazy low number and hopefully the seller will ask for a higher number that's what I really want.

    Have your agent find out if there are important terms to the seller such as closing length, leasebacks, etc. Also another one that works a lot is allowing the seller to leave behind any personal property that they wish and as the buyer you can take care of it. 

    "Crazy low offer" is not a direction I would recommend. Make something more realistic in the realm where you can start a discussion.
