There were only a couple of houses in their area of choice with a property they could afford.

I think you are in a great position with numerous choices available to you.

My question is this, do the sellers have any choice?

I think telling them you might use them in the future but provide all of this free crap today is a waste of time.Any smart commercial broker will not spend time on such things.Why not just pay for a report or send them a nice gift card to the restaurant of their choice?

Good times....I used to think it was cloudy too until I realized that it was always clear on Sundays - that's when all the factories are shut down.The pool and gym in my complex were closed daily from 11am-1pm so as "to give people two choices - a morning or afternoon session - instead of just one". 

For that reason, Chicago will not be my choice. 

@Jacob W. in general the areas inside the I 630 are good choice. this areas looks fine according to the Crime map here.Perhaps try to get First home buyers loan with low deposit.

This is not always the best choice, so use it wisely.  

Sucks totally but I wanted to sell the house and the buyer knew about it so I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Sell as  it is a bad choice as a rental based on rent to value.
