How to LOWBALL Sellers, respectfully!

Bailey Kramer explains his approach to making offers in today’s market by focusing on numbers that work for him rather than list price. He recounts buying a property listed at $110,000 by initially offering about $60,000 and ultimately closing at $85,000, which has since performed well as a midterm rental. He then describes calling an agent about another nearby listing (3 bed/1 bath, 884 sq ft) priced at about $170 per square foot despite needing roughly $20,000 in repairs, and suggesting an offer around $75,000 based on $85 per square foot; the agent laughed and noted the sellers don’t want an investor. Bailey notes the home has been on market 45 days, the seller moved in with a fiancé, and emphasizes that time can increase seller motivation, so investors should submit low offers and follow up.00:00 Welcome and Topic00:13 Recent Offer Context00:39 Last Deal Lowball Win01:53 New Listing Breakdown02:50 Calling the Listing Agent03:47 The Lowball Math05:06 Seller Motivation Intel05:37 Why Time Creates Leverage06:23 More Lowball Examples06:51 Final Takeaways
