Hi all — I’m based in the Atlanta metro and actively interested in real estate investing.

Click-through drops.

Proof that environments (and markets 👀) can change dramatically over time.If you’re active in NJ or nearby markets, drop a comment, say what you’re working on, or shoot me a message.

I dont space them evenly, I adjust based on signals.The first 3-4 touches are tighter, usually days 1, 3, 7, maybe 14.

I'm based in the Bay Area  and currently building my long-term REI strategy.

I’m looking for some insight on how to structure an offer on a Fannie Mae REO I’m interested in, especially given some discrepancies in how the property is being represented.Key facts:Current listing: Advertised as a 3 bed / 1 bath at 1,850 sf.Issue: That square footage appears to include a partially finished basement, including a “room” with no proper egress, so it should not be counted as a legal bedroom or finished living area.Prior listing (2021): Previously listed as a 3/1 at 1,572 sf.Fannie/FNMA record: Federal National Mortgage Association currently has it as a 2/1 at 1,368 sf, which is much closer to reality based on what I’ve seen.Pricing history:Sold 7/14/2021 for $450,000.Trustee’s Deed consideration amount: $347,000 dated 10/18/2024.REO list price started at $489,900, then dropped around 2/16/2026 to $484,900.First Look: First Look period expired on 2/20/2026 at 21:00, so investors can now submit offers.My main concerns:The current list price seems to be based on an inflated square footage (counting the basement as living space) and as if it’s a 3/1, when in reality it’s functionally a 2/1 with a partially finished basement.Comps in the area should really be adjusted to the ~1,368 sf, 2/1 configuration, not 1,850 sf, 3/1.Fannie paid effectively $347K (per the Trustee’s Deed), but is trying to list it close to or above what it sold for in 2021, when it was arguably misrepresented then too.What I’m thinking:Have my agent pull comps based on 2/1 and ~1,368 sf only, ignoring the basement as finished living area, and value the property that way.Back into my maximum offer using:ARV for a 2/1 at ~1,368 sf.Less repairs/updates needed.Less my desired profit and holding costs.Use the misrepresentation of square footage and non‑egress “bedroom” as leverage, both in the initial offer and during any inspection/renegotiation.Questions for the community:For those who have bought Fannie Mae REOs recently, how aggressive can I realistically be on price once First Look has expired?
