One of the few very honest realtors once mentioned that 20% below asking is a good starting strategy if you have time. If you pay all cash you can even go lower.

This seems like good advice.. It's also an election year. The worst they can say is no.
I offered about 15% off list back in 2015 (when things were crazy hot), and got it no problem. You could likely offer less since it's winter and things have slowed a bit. Things might pick back up in the spring or post election.

I want to have a deal, I have no time constraint and worst case scenario I renr until I find something. I dont want to be a bag holder and I want to keep a margin of safety ia starting a bid at -20% a good strategy? ( e.g. 295,000 on a 350,00 listing price )
