I know you investors out there dont ever plan on paying full price for a property...What are your techniques and strategies to knock down the purchase price? I am pretty sure some of you use the same lines every time you place a bid lol...

So lets hear it!

I often pay full price.  In fact, sometimes I pay over full price. 

If I can't pay full price, it's generally because the numbers don't make sense at full price.  So, I'll say to the seller, "I can't pay full price because the numbers don't make sense at full price."

Honesty will get you far in negotiation...
