Excellent location in Mesa.I shopped around and I found a mortgage broker who was able to get me a 6.99% rate who took the loan to UWM (united wholesale mortgage).I negotiated a $15k seller concession I used for a 1-0 buy down so my rate for 1 year will be 5.99% and then revert to 6.99% for 30yrs. and then we used the rest of the concessions for closing costs. in 6 months or 12 months I will revisit to see if mortgage interest rates dropped significantly to justify a refinance to lock in a lower interest rate.part of the approval process for the Fannie Mae 5% mortgage is to make sure that i could afford this property and that i have good credit, my income is consistent and stable and it reflects that on my tax returns, I have sufficient capital reserves for the subject property and my other 10 Multifamily properties (6 months of PITI for the subject and then it's percentage based off of the loan amounts and how many properties you have)I agree, the more that government "helps" they therefore are increasing pricing.

This is particularly true for absentee owners.

Is that always true? 

AshleyNormal, however you have wide latitude in the actual agreement you agree to sign, how long, how much commission, that’s not to see individual agents have to agree to your terms, but if you feel uncomfortable with the terms you are free to negotiate or shop around, however an agent cannot legally show you a house without an signed agreement of some sort. 

I guess that's what confuses us so much I mean it's almost too good to be true.

His story, if true, indicates the tenants have no respect for the property owner, his rights, or his desires.If I were a betting man, I would bet money that they are dragging their feet because their rent is well below market.

If what you say is true then what’s the point of the disclosure?

This doesnt seem correct for him not to be able to buy it but some shops do only allow technicians to buy the parts from them so that is true.

And I would also run a consolidated portfolio IRR on both the old property and new property together to get a true picture.If you don't like the property you have. 

Carpentry is often wood related, but most true carpenters are not drywallers.
