I know a couple that if you even sound like you're wanting to contribute to thier little domain, they will cut the deal for spite!

I see a lot of narrative around, "cut your costs, eliminate unnecessary expenses" etc.

Once recorded, the owner/seller of the property will not be able to close on the property without addressing this issue, thereby blocking them from cutting you out and selling to another party.Other than that, keep in mind it is VERY difficult to win in court for specific performance to force the seller to sell.Good luck, and keep moving forward!

For example, in 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act temporarily changed the rules for investment interest deductions.

For the existing, they said due to budget cuts, they aren't raising ANY rents.

It isn't as simple or clear cut as you might think.

I think a major component of influence here are the listing brokers.  

Would it be better to just wait for rate cuts then jump in. 

At the last meeting they are still expecting 3 rate cuts this year.

Also, each time you transfer the deed the IRS wants their cut.
