I was able to get an amazing deal on my first property because I figured out that the sellers were working on a tight deadline and I was able to meet it, so they took my offer even though it was lower and in a hot market. Sometimes its worth paying more or fitting into a timeline, depending on what the other party needs in a deal - it's a creative way to make a deal happen. What creative solutions have you used in a deal (real estate, cars, sales, ect.)?
