Steer clear of emotional bidders and keep your eye open for motivated sellers. When you are purchasing anything it's obvious that you want to pay as little as possible for it. When it comes to purchasing houses there are two main concepts that will alter the price - If you can take advantage of these concepts you will learn how to buy real estate at a discounted price.
1. Steer clear of emotional bidders and people who are making their decisions with their heart. When people/families buy their houses there can be emotional concepts that cause them to pay more than the value of the home. For instance they might be in a rush to find a property as they have already sold their previous home, or they might be living with their in-laws in between houses and desperate to find their own home. The Wife might fall in love with the garden and be prepared to do anything to get buy or vice versa. Believe me you do NOT want to compete with these people, one of the great advantages you have as a property Investor is that you shouldn't be emotional. Turn your back on the property and find another one that will end up being a better deal. If you want to know how to buy real estate for way more than its worth then simply find an emotional buyer and you will see how its done.
2. If you can find a motivated seller you may be able to buy the property at a discounted price. What do I mean by a 'motivated seller'? Simply somebody who wants to get rid of their home quickly. For instance a divorced couple or somebody who has been transferred to a new location and wants to sell their home before they buy a new one. Always remember that the 'conditions' of your offer can be just as important as the price. For instance if you know that the seller is desperate to get rid of the home then it would be a great idea to offer a very short settlement. You would be surprised at how often lower offers will get accepted because of the conditions that are attached with the offer. I hope these concepts can help you to learn how to buy real estate at a discounted price. Good luck and happy bidding.
