insult them? You're making the biggest investment of your life. You'll be making payments for 30 years (unless you sell before but you get the point) You're not trying to make friends, you're trying to make a deal.

Possibly go to the courthouse and see which houses are being foreclosed on.

Agreed! when we found our house it was listed for more than we were willing to pay. We said what the heck and gave them a crazy low ball offer, $40,000 less than they were asking. We figured they would say no but would at least let us know what the bottom line was. Imagine our surprise when they accepted our offer!!!! Then got a bonus after the home inspection brought out the fact that the house needed a few improvements they droped another $10,000 off the price Now even with the fall in the market we are still ahead of the game!

This is a big investment try to make it the best deal you can get!!! All they can do is say no but you never know they may say yes!!

Yeah thats the Plan...I dont think I've ever heard of many people paying The actual Asking price for a home on the market.
The House we REALLY Like is Listed at 205,900...I was going to offer 190,000...Buy it seems you guys are suggesting to go lower...However you are right the worst that can happen is the seller says No and Either Re offers back to us or we offer them a Bit more than the original.

House is Sweet though HUGE Shed in the backyard and a 1 car garage with Plenty of room for Multiple Bikes It's a Three Bedroom 1 Bath but we invisioned putting in a second half bath downstairs where the Bar/entertainment room would be since there is plenty of open space down there.

Hopefully soon i'll be posting pictures of it...We gotta make closing first!
