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

It’s important to understand that all properties sold at auction are typically offered “As Is” and “Where Is,” meaning the seller does not guarantee or warranty the condition or title of the property in any way.

How can I structure offers to get what I want? 

Quote from @Ron Amshalom: Hi everyone,I've seen a lot of different numbers floating around regarding down payment requirements for foreign investors looking to qualify for a DSCR loan in the U.S.What is the real down payment typically required?

Just keep in mind that neighborhoods like that typically offer little equity growth and likely won’t generate much cash flow in a few years.

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.

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

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.

I MIGHT offer a 1-2% discount if an equal amount was included with the offer as a non-refundable earnest deposit.
