So I may not be as objective as others.

The State (which had a lien on the property) actually objected to the low purchase price but ultimately the judge approved the sale and we were able to close.

I responded he was already making much more then that.I told him he only worked 50% of the day so he was making twice what he thought he was already making and when he started working full time we could discuss a raise He objected and I outlined his typical week.

My objective would be to sell this building for him that way "we both get paid!!!"

Just like good oysters, each one is a unique delight.

Set your own max price - try your best to look at it objectively.

The kind of networking I do, is very unique- I run a networking club that meets in small groups to "mastermind", share information, and this is important: we meet in a format where we can ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE.

Bill, Thanks a lot, for your two back to back posts.You covered it all, and that’s exactly what I was looking for and it sounds very much like how I was interoperating the SAFE Act, though I am no attorney, I do have some 23 years of Mortgage Banking experience and until recently (end February) held a California DRE Broker’s License.Using closing attorneys may be an option for us (in mortgage states not trust deeds states) but like you mentioned in most cases their staff are the acting closing agents which may be problematic.For now we have decided to bite the bullet and go the section 8 route for our properties but then that has its unique complications.

I would of course love to hear arguments going either way though because my only goal on BP is to gain objective knowledge to help me succeed in REI.

The first question is "What is your investment or business objective?"
