They start with that price, then work backwards to see if there is justification in the market for that price. 

I would bet that they use the "lead contamination" justification to oppose this solution. 

Honestly, using trying to use this text as justification for keeping the deposit would be unprofessional, and very likely to fail in court.

We have all the receipts and even maps for square footage justification.

I feel it gives me a better confidence and justification for the rent I charge because I know at least one person out there would be willing to do it :)

Appreciation is likely, condo sold for 40k more than list price in 2006.Okay so lets skip past the justification and get into the numbers.Median Rent - Mortgage&Insurance - Taxes - HOA - Vacancy(5%) - Maintenance(5%)1300 - 570 - 235 - 205 - 65 - 65 = +160I know I can get this rent by posting fake ad on CL.I'm looking for peoples thoughts on this deal. 

The justifications for the concession are more commonly because if needed repairs seller doesn’t want to make

Just if you were going to go hard core and more LLC’s/ business ventures...

I would say you make a great case and justification for what your doing right there Erin. 

Failure to do so without justification will damage your reputation in the space.
