Offer $160K, Pay $150K: The Rockford Section 8 Strategy

With a Rockford Section 8 deal, the smartest offer may not be the lowest one. I break down how coming in hot at $160,000 can help you beat competing buyers, lock the property under contract and gain control of the negotiation. Once the seller starts counting their money and wants to reach the closing table, the inspection gives you an opportunity to renegotiate the deal toward the real target price of $150,000.
