Boom accepted.

I would accept that arrangement in my cheaper rentals but if I was renting a house in the 2-2.3k range, probably not unless you paid the full amount up front.

I’m also concerned with quality of materials and maybe I should accept that things get replaced more often in an apartment and just buy the cheapest of everything I can find?

If no acceptable bids are received, it will enter the extended period and be available to investors.

Can the seller say he will accept an FHA loan now but only for 210k?

But in talking to lenders, I learned they don’t accept rent from spare rooms because it’s in my primary residence, the reasoning behind which I don’t understanding since that’s an extra $2650/month in addition to my W-2 income.

How much is an acceptable percentage for a ROI in 6 months on private money?  

I have an accepted offer on a property that is listed on MLS; I was able to get the seller to agree to significantly discount the property due to it's state of disrepair.

If the book value of an asset is X and they sell it for Y, not only would they have to answer to their investors, they might have to answer to their regulators if they are disposing of assets at a discount just to clear their books, without a documented reason why (Like...Value may be "X" but, deferred maintenance equals "Z" so, discounting and selling for "Y").We aren't in the market we were from 08'-14' where this "strategy" may have been more acceptable.

I can accept requests and I was able to send my phone number once.
