Condo's don't pencil well. 

I'm sorry that you feel mistreated, but I can assure you that both JWB and the property owner lost in this equation as well. 

So I have a few questions I wanted to asked this well educated community.

I've got a property under contractPurchase price $78K out the door (I have cash to close) Intent: build on the property which already has a functioning well, septic, and needs PGE installed Total buildout on the property utilities: $128K including the original land purchase price.

This included some landmark deals including Rockefeller Center’s $3.5B loan and Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau $1.2B refinancingAlternative lenders filling traditional banking gaps with short-term solutions which has already begun a cycle of consolidation that will likely continue and accelerate in 2025The Office Sector Divide:CBD property values are down 50.7% from 2021 peaksClass A office properties seem to be in their own vacuum of prosperity with trophy properties commanding premium rents ($100+ PSF nationally, up to $247 in top markets) with strong occupancyHybrid work continues impacting older building valuations which have not faired as well, but this may begin to rebalance as more companies are instituting mandates to return to physical officesChallenges & Opportunities:$1 trillion in loans maturing by 2026Interest rates up from 3.5% (2021) to 6.74% (2024)Experts such as AEW’s Michael Acton and Blackstone’s Nadeem Meghji see the best entry point in the last 15–20 years and we agreeMarket Outlook:Current market conditions present unique opportunities, with inflation-adjusted prices at historic lows and yields at decade highs.

I have known Brian for many years.

They are investors as well and have good contacts in most markets they sell properties in, insurance, property management, etc.

Be sure you consult your agreements with them as well to determine if there is some other action you are responsible for.You may also want to contact your insurance to find out if and when they may step in and do something.

I love lakeview as well and live in the area.

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.
