We have many tenants (international students) who are not Christian, so a Christmas gift would be humours at best or offensive at worse.

That would be a firing offense at my day job.

:-/ (no offense intended, of course, but I like to think independently on deals)Okie-dokie - weigh in.

Once they had the electric turned back on and AC running the original musky moldy odor was much less offensive, but the spores also got spread from the kitchen area to the rest of the house via the central AC system.I end up doing nothing, but it was not an easy decision, and one I came back to from time to time, wondering.

Is 30% below retail asking price too offensive/too lenient?

No offense, but these are questions you should have been asking BEFORE you purchased the property...and you should have had good answers in place before shelling out any cash...That said, here are my best responses:1.

"Offensive odor" is pretty subjective, unfortunately.

There are several things at stake if you do so.Do not shut off utilities during a dispute.Do not "bump the hitch"Do not carry offensive weapons with you when collecting or repossessing, even if you are licensed to do so.Always document any collection efforts and keep a record of those efforts for at least two years after the loan is closed.

They are on the front lines in the rental arena there so they would know how vacancies are doing, tenant quality, turnovers, overall quality, etc.Other than property managers, there are a lot of people who specialize in market data and where the advantageous places to buy investment properties are and they can explain why.

PS, these were meant to be jokes, no offense intended.
