Through word of mouth I found some hunting land through a private seller that I am going to offer about 10% below asking price. I did my homework and know what they paid and this family is making a good profit for the short time they owned it.

Even though the price they offer is reasonable, how would you go about making an offer that will get consideration? This may be better suited for the OB, but the objective is making the right offer to get the property at the right price.

What tactics would you use? All cash, short close? others?

All cash usually leads to short close. You might want to stop overthinking it and make the offer before someone else does.

Offering 10% less than asking cash in hand is fair imo because it reduces some red tape. They'll prolly counter offer up a bit but since you thought the original price was reasonable, then you should be ok with that.

I've never bought just land, is there any structure or rights involved?

Cash is great to guarantee the funds are there, but I'm assuming before you take an offer on land you'd ask for a guarantee of funds/ financing?

Cash helps close a little faster but not really by a whole lot if you need to get an appraisal, inspection, etc.

What they originally paid shouldn’t factor in at all. Unless they are idiots, I guess.
