On 2 occasions now, I've had people move out and not pay last month's rent and expecting (with my express disapproval) of applying security.

Vikram -Well said...I wish I could have expressed it as concisely as you just did... :-)Scott - There's your answer...

I've have the metro express plank vinyl wood look flooring installed in my commercial building for 2 years now.

On the other hand. if he is not the listing agent, the other buyer's agent would not have submitted the bid to him, and he knew you knew this.The only other possibility is a confusion of expression: maybe your agent meant to say that another buyer's agent called the listing agent to submit a higher bid and then the listing agent told your agent what happened.

This is expressed as a % of the replacement value, often 80%.

I am talking about moving your equity into another property with the express purpose of deferring taxes.The OP was talking about was there a specific benefit such as a tax benefit to the larger property from exchanging down and I said "no" there is no benefit.Of course you can do exchanges with legs and multiple parties but that is not what the poster was asking nor what I was answering.

Don't get into any of the details and expressing anger over the matter via text message, just ask for a brief conference call when they are both available to discuss the status of the closing, and possible next steps.
