It's been almost three months on the market.

I realize some of you will recommend offering whatever satisfies the numbers. But I want it for less than that. I want it for the lowest the seller is willing to go.

What should my first offer be? This may be TMI, but it rents for about $3000. Taxes are $4.4/year. Current rents: 1295+900+850=3045. Fair Market Rents, 40th percentile without subtracting utilities: 1582+1055+1055 - 400 utilities (assumed) =3292.
