Here's the basic rundown on a potential deal.Couple getting a divorce, husband is drinking/drugging and neither of them are in the house.

Apparently drinking, possibly drugs, not working etc.

I suspect that one of my tenants is dealing drugs from his apartment.

I decided we couldn’t take the risk, and we decided to re-finance the condo.The process for re-financing the condo kinda got drug out, and today we finally signed the paperwork.

If I suspect termite damage I start poking stuids and sills with an ice pick and call our local termite treatment guy.

My family and friends think im' doing drugs but i know its a gold mine just waiting for me. its like anything else every place has its ups and downs.

I am not talking about traffic violations, I am talking about drug possession / intent to sell, domestic abuse, things like that.

So, those types of sellers are unlikely to give an preferential treatment to a cash buyer.In short, it's really going to depend on the seller and their situation, but in general, up to 5-10% discount is about right in my experience...

The correct income tax treatment of a seller credit to buyer for closing costs is a reduction of the seller's sale price, so it would not affect his/her capital gain treatment.
