If so, how are they weighted/calculated?

She asked me for a reduction in her rent.Okay here are my thoughts. 1) Crying...I hate that.

The planning commission seemed to give a LOT of weight to those who spoke so it's important that we have a large turnout when it comes to the city council. 

@Dwayne DilbeckThe fact that you participate in your employer 401k does not have any weight on your eligibility for the Solo 401k.

You can access FHA's handbook here.My own two cents -- the appraiser is still going to give more weight to the closed sales but the active and pending listings at least show where the price trends are headed (up, down, or stable).

I would weight the pros and cons and determine what best helps you reach your goals and manage risk.Pros:-30 year fixed rate mortgage available if <4 units - lowers your risk and helps you predict/manage cash flow when rates are on the rise.  

Recent price reduction of $120K and we got it under contract almost immediately after it was listed at the new lower price.We have done local rent surveys and we think we are competitive.We're still in the Due Diligence phase right now, and are getting: Appraisal, environmental study, HUD statement, utility details, insurance, financing.Anything that you think we should be considering here, either about this deal or about getting into an office building in general?

Similarly, I do not expect in most areas of San Diego the STR regulations will have much impact on the rents.However, certain beach communities, such as Mission Beach where our STR is located, have enough STRs that there may be a resulting price decline but I would not view the price decline as a price reduction because the profit of the RE is substantially different when it cannot be used as an STR.I will use our STR as an example. 

I’m looking at a couple of properties now and prices sites like Zellow and Redfin keep sending me emails with price reductions.

The value was set on comps so the lower rent rates did not lead directly to a reduction in price.
