Should I make an offer with the qualification that all furnishings, dishes, pots, and pans stay, except for "personal" effects?

Some rehab loans offer 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs.

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

They've now ended that policy and are now offering incentives to have more children.In Italy & Japan you can buy houses cheap in abandoned villages.

Start anywhere—offer to assist, intern, whatever it takes—and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

I will keep that in mind when discussing the offer

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

I found this quote that you posted:  "Also proud to say our quads and duplexes (which are rarely offered by other builders) have not only exceeded our estimates for rent & rent growth but value growth as well."

What are the pros and cons of each, and which offers the least restrictions, flexibility and cost savings for my intended purposes?
