You add up all your itemized deductions.

I've made three offers.

When you're looking at properties that only need cosmetic updates (like paint and flooring), do you typically offer close to market value?

How can I structure offers to get what I want? 

If not, what should I adjust to make it a fair offer for both sides?

Would anyone hire a realtor that would ignore offers on their for sale home for 4 days?

I am looking to learned about the art of negotiation and make offers outside of the normal down payments, closing costs, and seller credits.

I'm happy to say that I just got an accepted offer on my first ever deal!

I am thinking about creating a fund to purchase condos in Florida where we offer 95% off the current value with the goal of acquiring valuable land cheaply to rebuild new.
