That's horrible that it now stays forever.

They're happy with it apparently but the kitchen floors and walls are horrible.

Prior to that, getting a loan at 8% wasn't horrible and in fact rates have been much higher than that.

This was a formula widely promulgated out east here and it was instituted in the 70's when CPI was 7-10%.Legislation stays around long after markets decline, tying a landlord up for a possible week per tenant is horrible.

Typical example would be a house you are all in for $35-60k and they are renting for $600-800.Zillow/Trulia is HORRIBLE, at least in Indianapolis market.

At just 0.5%/m GROSS rent return, I don't see why Investors would be at all interested in it, except if the horribly expensive price is thought to soon/already be worth an even more horrible price!...

Only three scenarios: 1.) a horrible listing broker, 2.) he believes your offer was so bad it went to the bottom of his "to do" pile because he believes it will be rejected, or 3.) the owner can't makeup their mind about a number for a counter.

It's making our inventory absolutely horrible.

That's a horrible ulcer-inducing combination.

I'm a rental homeowner myself and I know what it's like to have horrible tenants who don't give a crap that it's someone else's house.
