The Internet is changing the world in ways that we of today can not imagine, it is projected that with Amazon same day delivery the super market's days are numbered and with artificial intelligence in the back ground the "Suggested for you" will open up whole new ethnic markets to white anglo saxon descendants. 

The asking price can represent the sellers dream rather than reality, it may represent a thorough study of comps, or it may represent an artificially low price with no intention to sell at that price placed low in order to hopefully solicit a bidding war.   

We ended up opening up a HELOC to not only handle a lot more of the surrounding "stuff" like artificial turf, landscaping, the outdoor kitchen, etc and rolled in that loan, but we had no issues with it.

You don't want artificial wood next to real wood in the living area, doesn't look right.

@Michael Morrongiello"Someone told me" is the best way to learn about taxes, law, medicine and so on  ;)Both the seller's and the buyer's tax plans may be off.

For percentage rent, you can negotiate an artificial breakpoint- you and tenant decide on a number for the breakpoint and the percentage of net sales above that number (ie 3% of sales above 1.5million) or a natural breakpoint (if the rent is $100,000 a year and the percentage rent is 3%, then the natural breakpoint is 100,000/.03=3,333,333- so the tenant would pay 3% of net sales above 3,333,333).

Most other precious metals are produced at far greater rate than the demand because of the artificially high prices.

My point is that the selling agent sat on my offer and two there are games that some selling agents do to artificially raise the price by artificially demand that may or may not be there.  

Hey @Emilio Attardo,In this case, I'm pretty sure your HML is going to see the $25k in concessions and would just deduct that from the loan amount they are offering you, as the "work around" is clearly trying to artificially increase the purchase price to increase the loan amount.
