If its an unreasonable sum (I currently have offers around $60K on two house where over $150K is owed), work out a short sale.

that we deem unreasonable?

It is the rebellious ones, the unreasonable ones and the trouble makers who have always made this country great.

Donna, one more thing to learn:It can be very annoying and frustrating when people make unreasonable demands on you.

I had been looking for 5 months and was beginning to think that perhaps my offers were unreasonable for the current market climate - we had very strict parameters however that we could not really stray from , as it is important to us to be able to provide housing my parent in laws , and we will also be occupying a unit ourselves.

If you sell it to the tenants, make sure you get an appraisal to show that the price was not unreasonably low.

The additions I want I don't think are unreasonable.

Banks are completely unreasonable, completely irrational, and very difficult to work with.That said, I'm still buying property for pennies on the dollar that banks are desperate to get rid of.Because banks don't understand our business, there are plenty of ways we can exploit them to benefit our business.

It appeared to be unreasonably high but I wanted to check with the group.

Tony -If you have $200K in cash right now, and you want $100K to buy an apartment, why not use the $200K to flip 3-5 properties over the next 6-12 months, which should generate the $100K you need to buy the apartment -- AND allow you to retain the $200K.Certainly easier said than done if you're not experienced at rehab, but I don't think it's unreasonable to return 50% on $200K in a year by rehabbing in this market.Just an idea to consider...
