How much should I offer with out insulting the seller?

Answer
Yes! you should bother, this seller may need to sell and its possible he could be overpriced. If you are making an offer to a homeowner you can include the following with the offer. 1.The offer2.Your pre-approval letter showing an amount of $239K - show him/her this is what you are able to finance.3.Copy of your agency disclosure - when you meet with a buyer agent - he/she will disclose who they work for. ( maybe you already talked to a selling agent? Please say you didnt! )4.Copy of Home Inspection disclosure - again, your buyer agent will get to you. It shows you understand the home inspection process.5.Letter to home owner - this doesnt have to be elaborate but, sometimes this helps break the barrier with someone you usually do not get to meet. Tell the homeowner something positive about the home and what you plan to do when you move in. ( plant a garden, redo the floors, or how you will enjoy the neighborhood.) Then tell how you arrived at value and mention that you are ready to purchase but your bank will require an appraisal on the property.Show your home work and support your reason for the offer. Sellers have needs when they sell. If you can meet his/her needs it will work.Lastly, let me know if this was helpful   :)

Where can I find the legal description to a property?

Answer
If the information, the "book"&"page" is not listed in the property details on Zillow, you may be able to find the information online. Access your local Registry of Deeds online if it is available. Some counties charge a fee to view the information, some do not. Once in, fill out what you know about the property: Address, last year sold, current owners last name, etc. You will look for the most recent document and it will give you the book it's recorded in and the page within that book. A legal description is usually the metes and bounds or perimeter of the property. Also included may be the deed and/or note on the property.Hope this is helpful, if not write me back, if it is let me know by giving me a "thumbs up"

Home inspection

Answer
Just curious, do you know that the buyers backed out due to an issue found at the home inspection OR are you just wondering why it is back on the market?Sometimes buyers assume there is something wrong with the property when a sale falls thru. Lately, alot of homes have been unable to close due to financing and its more conservative requirements.Call a Realtor, they will find out for you!
