I felt discouraged, but the seller stuck with me because of the rapport we’d built.After a final price reduction and a third inspection, things changed.

The best part is there are no competitors as of this moment.

PS: thanks to all this thirds has been very interesting! 

Last week I was chatting at a party with a State Farm agent (not my local agent) who clued me in that State Farm will write commercial policies for STRs, including SFH owned by an individual or trust. 

Have an objective third-party determine value in its current condition.

You hit the nail on the head in your third sentence!

Even as a seller focused or listing broker, providing investors with live mortgage rates, programs and accurate resources has proven essential to maximizing transactional incentive and client conversion throughout the years..Although I've never actually executed dual duties on any single transactions (and don't think most investors want to entrust that responsibility to a individual party - nor would I want it!)

I remember at San Diego, and Orlando, Other companies were tossing after parties and those are what made the networking so much better.

3rd party firm?

I've been woken up late from parties, broken glass, revving engines, etc. - I've had to haul away a ton of trash, cans, dirty clothes, etc.
