You will encounter many legal questions as a landlord.

I have done several Delayed Financing deals and I never encountered a higher interest rate. 

Because it takes repetition for people to remember things and you have to be top-of-mind when they encounter a potential client for you!

However, I've encountered a setback as my initial lender has withdrawn (100%LTV), necessitating the search for alternative financing.

I'm sure it depends on a variety of things like your local area, the lender you choose, and the practices of each individual appraiser you may encounter.

I had a recent encounter with a "lender" on connected investors. comI was contact on there by a guy "named" Joseph Martella.  

I never encounter competition on the properties I buy.

The least you should have is an umbrella policy that will cover any litigation you may encounter.  

So, which of these negotiating strategies do you use, have you used, and what success or disappointments have you encountered in your negotiations? 

Also people that can't live in east palo alto/livermore they move to central valley, that itself is also causing price to rise. yes simply cross the bridge from Singapore to Malaysia and you will encounter the same situation.
