Thankyou all for your posts and advice. There’s certainly a lot to think about.

I’d like to maintain good relationships with the realestate agents in the area, and there seems to be some good advice that I shouldnt regularly go round making ridiculous offers…lest I get a “reputation” That said, armed with research and information, it feel pretty confident that I can push the price into what I deem a more reasonable figure based on the current market conditions for certain properties.

weallthforlife(my apologies, I don’t know your name), how do real estate agents react when you offer 50%!!!!

Would still love to continue hearing more opinions and advice too.

Thanks
