KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everything is negotiable. It depends on how you go about it and how you ask.
Understanding the psychology of the person you are negotiating with is essential.
Create win-win deals.
Regardless of what you are negotiating for, be prepared.
Making a stupidly low offer rarely works. The other person is highly likely to have a negative emotional response to that.
Don´t be arrogant.
It´s five times harder to lie with body language than it is with words. So, train yourself to pick up on body language.
Getting someone to run something past you a 2nd time is a good way to uncover anything they are not being honest about.
Time constraints can be used tactically to get a better deal. But make sure you don´t fall foul of them yourself.
Run deals past someone you trust to provide you with a sounding board.
Make sure that you look the part e.g. like you can afford to buy the property you are looking at.
All negotiations involve some conflict, don´t be scared of it, just be prepared to handle it.
Learn from your mistakes, we all make them.
If something does not feel right, listen to that gut feeling.
