This should help you determine whether the seller is bluffing or not.If the sellers have received multiple offers below the number they want but are close to that number and have rejected all of them then you know they are not bluffing.If they have not received anything remotely close then they are probably just dreaming and being stubborn.You never know what a seller's true motivation is until they see something in writing.

The seller may be "bluffing" in the sense that they won't use our jacked up legal system that would require them to spend a LOT of money to force you to close, as you may in fact be contractually obligated to do, but that should not be your guiding light here.  

TL-DR/BLUF: seeking subdivision calculators/business planAfternoon all, I was approached by a mentor that has business connections to contractors and funding and is seeking a plan to see the numbers work.

@Kevin Connelly Do you know for sure that the tenants been having real financial trouble or are they bluffing?

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Using BRRRR, for Properties 11 and greater, what is the best strategy to refinance out of Hard money / Private lending?

BLUF, figure out your long-term goals, determine which strategy helps you meet those goals, learn everything you can about that strategy, network with other investors, and then don't hesitate to pull the trigger.

I think we have a class action suit possibility here against the City Of Atlanta Watershed Dept for blackmailing landlords into paying bills they don't owe, even when the water company knows they are bluffing because they are fully aware that  it is illegal under Georgia law to charge bills to one entity which were  incurred by another. 

BLUF: I want to retire from my government job and move back to KC in 3 years.

You need to decide if you're bluffing when trying to get the Seller to either lower the price or pay for those repairs.
