I guess it is just the unknown value of appreciation that I am concerned with.

There are a lot of unknowns that come with this kind of scenario.

I get attached to places, but I have to let place go for less; fear of unknown . . . my mom flips RE and says I'm not going to get anything for place I wouldn't even buy.

New landlords fear eviction because of the unknown and the adversarial nature of it.

Basically they named the price that they want to walk away from closing with and expectation is I cover the net difference.My question is this: while I am pretty certain that the closing costs will comprise of the typical costs (attorneys fees, title fees, etc), should I be protecting myself from any unknown closing costs that may be a surprise when I get to the table, by way of language in our written contract?

If you were to rent your unit now, you'd have a positive cash flow, the receipt of cash, maintenance is a contingent liability, an unknown.

Well, window are brand new and energy saving. the rest (HVAC, hot water heater, etc. age is unknown perhaps 15 plus years?

Maybe, just maybe, so many agents have been Trying to make buyers contractually liable for unknown extra charges, that his brokerage is trying to be clear, and honest??

I came home for lunch and had unknown and extremely rare condition in my spinal cord bleed.

Wouldn't push the higher rent to an unknown tenant which may default.
