Barrington - would love to see the spreadsheet for one of those 50% AFTER EXPENSES deal - not to be confrontational, but sounds like fantasy land to me.

Then go inside, you will be able to confront them like that :)

By FedEx or otherwise....and seller confronts the realtor...they'd be in a world of hurt.You can offer to pay title, pay for a survey, waive home warranty, put plenty of option money or no option period, waive entirely the appraisal contingency and other ways to make your offer stronger.The good news is in my experience is that you'll find a better house, or one better priced, or in a better location, or something you like way better than this one, even if it doesn't feel like it today.

The major issue you have to confront is rentals is a passive activity for income tax purposes, no social security and Medicare tax due.

Confronting people is not normal for most people.

(even tho we offered him a bed, he was just too immature to take it because he had deleted me from Facebook the prior week and I confronted him about it and he kept lieing about it and the bed was mine so he didn't take it) but BOTTOM LINE is that he wants to steal a couch and a bed from a foreclosed house..

If you want this sort of nonsensical confrontationalism to go away, you have to ignore it, like a toddler throwing a particularly cringe-worthy tantrum.

I get that it probably earns you a lot of views, but this sort of super confrontational attitude is doing us no favors in the long run.  

I'll give you forward edge of battle area tactics on all strategies, how to intercept the enemy, confront, overcome with superior knowledge and destroy any objection.

I would confront him about the issue and send a lease violation.
