Personally, if they're being that unreasonable with the price, I would say walk away.

If he is, I don't think it is unreasonable for him/her to want to charge a fee for his/her time to see if you are an approvable borrower before you are given a letter of good funds.

They didnt consult us on the price increase.Now its a big ordeal negotiating down to the price we agreed upon.Id just like to make sure that we arent being unreasonable.

The tenants who have been in the home have been there for almost 4 years and have been as close to ideal as u could hope for(always pay on time+take care of property with zero unreasonable requests)    The tug of war in my mind is do I continue to pay out of pocket (have enough reserves to continue to do so) and own the property free and clear with significant cash flow in 5-6 years OR sell.

But, I don't want to be unreasonable.  

I could see them having a commission built in if the tenant buys, but 6% is totally unreasonable.  

And it was clear then their proforma numbers left out the 20K a year loss due to paying all the utilities. on an 8 unit building in Alaska...I'm finding the task of finding and dealing with MF investments to be unreasonably time consuming not to mention frustrating and extremely risky.

The conventional lender provided me with a pre-approval letter, but the hard money lender stated he would only provide me with a pre-approval letter on a house by house basis, which means it would be unreasonable for him to give me one for each of the 20 offers I plan on submitting.

That said, I'm not unreasonable - if something truly unexpected happens through no fault of the contractor's, I might let them off the hook, but if not, I deduct from the final payment.  

Scott (34 Cal. 2d 116,208 P. 2d 367), that California Civil Code Section 3275 was a sufficient barrier to harshand unreasonable foreclosure proceedings.
