The replys are missing my point.I was probably unclear in my original question.For this discussion the pros and cons of doing work yourself and paying someone else is irrelevant.My question is:When I choose to do work myself, when I look at the numbers my profits are artificially high.Should I literally pay myself to make the numbers reflect reality?

Either we accept that paper or walk away from closing, then we would loss the appraisal, inspection and credit check fee - around $1500.I sat back and reflect.

wanted to add another option is to purchase a 1-/2 acher of land for about 3.000$ at 125.00 a month with I think 350.00 down. but it will not reflect on my criedit report.

The portion that is reported to the 401k will not be taxed as I explained above. 401k EIN must be reflected on that K1 as Mark mentioned. 

STRIKE TWO.With those two issues and my 10 day deadline bearing down, I decided to pass on the deal.If I want the house there has to be some price adjustment to reflect the new risks.I wonder if FNMA is open to some sort of tabulated cost analysis to help them make a more informed decision, I doubt it.

You have different asset classes there and valuations would be different yet it seems the asset manager is lumping them together reflecting a price as a package deal, you don't really have the same risks involved to be lumping the UPB together and cents on the dollar.

I am hoping I pay only the portion of that tax reflected in that year's distribution.

Punctuality is reflective of how responsible they will be as a tenant.I don't charge for applications (shocking, I know), since we don't end up running very many credit checks of applicants.

As others mentioned you can also look at the average day on market but for the sake of answering your question, you would have to pull up the number of listings in a neighborhood and divide it by the average number of sales in the last few months.They both will lead you to the same conclusions as to which neighborhoods are hot except that neither of them takes seasonality into account (slower winter months will affect your calculations and won't reflect what's going to happen this spring).

In your case, you will be financing the purchase and should make your offer reflect that.
