Submitting your Offer on a Real Estate Investment Property: What to Expect
This is the part where you actually have to get out of your comfort zone. Where you have to face potential rejection and disappointment.
Offering a property on the MLS is fairly straightforward. All you really have to do is reach out to a real estate agent and let them guide you through the process. Remember that as a buyer, it’s very unlikely that you will be paying any sort of commission since it’s usually the seller that picks up the bill for both the buyer and seller agent commission.
Offering on a property that is not the MLS is a little bit tricker, but still fairly simple.
Making an offer to a private seller usually starts with a verbal agreement, followed by negotiation. When a price has been settled, you can take things up officially and pull out the paperwork and do the signing.
You can also use a letter of intent as another way of being official without being official if that makes sense.
