Hi all - I'm 28 and put an offer on a 2bed apartment today which will be my third in hopefully many more IP's to come. I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable with the process of negotiating with agents but they still make me nervous as I get somewhat intimidated with people in this industry who know more than me.
One of the first questions the agent asked today was ' Is this property to live in or for investment ?'
I have had this question with other purchases but this agent has asked this question twice in the process to which I have subtly avoided giving a direct answer too.
Is the agent just trying to find out if I am a cashed up investor who he could possibly negotiate a higher price with ? Or is he looking for a profile on me to present to the vendors ? I am not sure why he is so keen on finding out this info ?
