@Lou R.There are many possible reasons:NOI numbers in the pro forma are likely rosy ... a thorough analysis could tell a quite different story;There may be other liens or defects in title on the property;The building is facing functional obsolescence or is carrying too much deferred maintenance;There is a forthcoming change in the local economy (major employer downsizing/leaving) or neighbourhood (redevelopment, highway or manufacturing being built close-by);The list goes on, but it always comes down to a lack of value in the proposition: either there is a significant problem with the business or the asset which makes the acquisition costs unreasonable.Now, sometimes this can be a good thing - if you are certain you have identified the issue(s) and know you can effective remedy them at a cost which the business could afford, you may have yourself a deal.  

I was trying to do some searching on past write ups and primarily could only find the proposition to the investor but the not front end metrics you are looking to hit. 

The cleaning value was a couple of hundred bucks to begin with, so it was a good value proposition for me to accept.

I was approached last week by a Co from UK "Business Area Limited" about financing a land development project in MN (large project)Tim Robert George Co's rep contacted me with a proposition to provide financing for the the project.

Furthermore we'll assume that the seller's primary goal is to make sure that the seller's time in the nursing home is paid and care continues.Approach the seller with the proposition that you can purchase the home while ensuring that the seller can still receive Medicaid benefits.

Maybe I am unique in this outlook, but for me, this simply an unacceptable proposition. 

The owner thought this would be a very short term proposition until they figured out what to do next.

My gut reaction is that there isn't much of a value proposition for potential buyers based on what you'd have to charge vs what their money gets them with other options. 

Attics with walk-up stairs that have the space and headroom requirements are, in my mind, low hanging fruit/value add propositions.  

Many brokers in the area have a strong sales pitch and believe in their value proposition.
