The offer that is NOT an offer, offer

David is here to help with great advice on how to get deals right now. The numbers and holding your numbers is key A deal is made up of doing your research then viewings and making some offers. Those that are accepted are usually deals that then go on to complete but how do you make an offer that is not an offer? David shares how to make a lowball offer that maintains your professional integrity and credibility and continues to develop the positive relationships you have with estate agents. If you follow the process and make offers on every property you will get deals with numbers that work for you.   KEY  TAKEAWAYS Reverse engineer the numbers to work out what you want to earn a month. How many deals do you need to do to make the number you need each month? To get to a point of offers you need to do a certain number of viewings. You should make offers on all the properties you view. How do you maintain your professional integrity and credibility if you want to make a lowball offer? You are not a retail buyer; you are looking to buy for an investor and as a property professional you have to make a margin and you look at it from a different viewpoint. Practice making offers that are not offers. Find reasons as to why the property doesn’t meet your criteria and explain what your offer would be, even though you don’t want to make an offer. Explain you are only sharing your thoughts about a price that would work for you. If you make an offer on every property you will get deals.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If an estate agent is looking for the asking price still make an offer’ ‘Deduct from the asking price the work that needs doing and explain your role as a professional’ ‘Every time you view a property make an offer’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.
