Don't Fear 'As Is' Properties! How to Negotiate Repairs Like a Pro
00:00:00.000 | One of those things that typically give me a lot of analysis paralysis back when I started
00:00:04.240 | was this little phrase in the listing that says, "As-is,
00:00:06.960 | seller not willing to make any repairs to the property."
00:00:10.320 | And so that held me back from ever buying properties or ever making offers until I figured
00:00:14.240 | out that that really doesn't mean anything. Because what's happened for me 100% of the time
00:00:20.080 | is I'll make the offer on an "as-is house" and then I get the inspection report and guess what?
00:00:26.080 | I asked the seller for $10,000 worth of repairs or a $2,000 credit or whatever.
00:00:31.520 | Just because something says "as-is" doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take that
00:00:37.040 | face value. And that's something that I think a lot of people miss
00:00:39.520 | when they're buying their first or second or third property.
