Back-to-back closes are most definitely done at times to hide the wholesaler's [large] profit, which might unnecessarily irritate the buyer.

Hey Gang,I just pulled in a favor from a realtor who I am probably on the verge if irritating.

Here's the part of her plan that irritates me: She's selecting the tenant/buyer for you with the intent that they will not exercise their purchase option, but she wants you to split the option purchase price with her because she found you the tenant.

I'd love to write a long response as this is a topic of interest to me, but I'm short on time right now so I'll keep my thoughts brief.In general, the commercial sector is wrestling with the mess it's in due to property depreciation that has affected many states, declining business revenues, and borrowers who are often in a weakened financial state.To add to the problem, you have lenders who are dealing with fixing their balance sheets, trying to get rid of toxic assets, and in some cases, being watched/managed by the FDIC.When you factor in the billions of commercial paper that is coming due just this year alone, you have a real mess.However, banks seem to be more willing than before to take a haircut on a loan if they really want it off their books.

I find it humorous when investors get irritated when a lender does not agree with their evaluation.

At 10+ rental properties you will be toxic to most banks/lenders.
