#$@&^%$ WTF, I Like The Guy

[Joe Cummings]

I wanted to make a low ball offer on a Garage in NE Pa.  So when I went up to look at it, the owner met me there. And so did his uncle and his cousin. Well anyway, my family is from Johnstown, and I spent my summers with my cousins in Tioga County.

So the Realtor calls and says he's running late, not to mention we are kinda early. So now this turns into talking shop, general talk about riding dirt bikes in strip mines, sliding down boney piles on old car hoods, and showing scars. Took all of maybe 5 minutes and I was talking a coal-cracker dialect I haven't used in over 30 years. All we're missing is the kraut, sausage, and fried potatos.

Now what? My plan of throwing out a low-ball number and hoping he needs the money is kinda blown.

How the F did this happen? I never really like anyone.

Now what? Anybody else ever have this happen?

You've established a personal connection perfect! Remember it's just business. If your offer is even close to what they actually would take (not what they listed it at and hope to get) they might give it to you because you have an established connection other investors couldn't or wouldn't try to achieve. That's how you get deals. Good luck.
