This is a year lease, and this property is in Cook County, not Texas, so if I did evict it would cost an arm and a leg, take 4-5 months, would have to be done via at attorney since this is an LLC, and the courthouse could be as far as downtown Chicago which is a 3 hr drive round trip in traffic from my house, which puts me at January/February and I’ve heard no sheriff puts someone on the street then anyway.

He has offered to sell it to me at about an 18% discount from the already discounted price.

I've got 1 mortgage on my belt and my second which is NOO (non-owner occupied) was offered to me at 15% with a 5.125% rate.

He earned my trust and put me at ease, and that is worth something even if we can't find the right property now. 

Btw, I have offered my roommate dinner and pay for her 20 minutes to go to Wells Fargo but she has not replied to me at all. 

How do I go about convincing the seller to sell the property to me at a much lower price?

Also around me at least most people, realtor or not, still want to see some proof of funds, and/or have some money down.

My agent believes we would stand a good chance of getting sizable compensation to fix the plumbing problems at mediation level, without going to court.My agent has generously offered to represent me at mediation as I live out of state and the man is on genius level and really knows his stuff.

He's a great mentor, and the entire association is tremendous.Contact me at anytime.(323) 605 [email protected]
