Was that unreasonable perhaps?

The 2,500 fee for a small loan for a mortgage broker is not unreasonable.

I think it's unreasonable to expect agents to do more than list and maybe find buyer.

Example:Listed property for 217kMultiple offers came in at a high of 225kAppraisal on property may not come in as high as 225k but we feel the house is worth every penny.I know most banks will not finance above appraisal, so how do you get past this hurdle?

Wouldnt want to be seen as the "chill" landlord but wouldnt want to be unreasonable and overreact. 

For example, if I were to offer 8% interested+principal, 30 year amortization, 7 year balloon.Reasonable or unreasonable terms?  

$4.74/ square foot or $474 / square is not unreasonable for a flat roof. you may be able to find someone for less, but that is an average price.

Prices are unreasonably high, I just don't understand how people afford buying as everything in near the unaffordability-level.

Again, your Lender will require this and it will need to be verified before they will approve your purchase.Overall, it required more hurdles to manage on the Lending side.

Our loan paperwork specifically says that consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
