This turned into a headache because many General Contractors are very greedy, and do not turn jobs down; so that eventually leads to them stop showing up, or dragging out your project. 

Being greedy is a huge mistake.

I don't know about you, but if your town is debating such a proposal and is full of a bunch of SJW's who are looking at it as a way to stick it to greedy landlords, if you mention the disparate impact argument to them, especially in a public meeting setting, I would be willing to bet the rental inspection issue proposal to quickly go away

If your PM had half a brain or wasn't as greedy, he would have simply refused to manage this D-class Section 8 property.

Just say next and move on.....sounds like your seller is a greedy scamster anyway, if they are serious about selling, motivated, they will take close to that offer just mentioned.

When I used to sell way back in the day when i wasn't yet an agent, despite the 'Principals Only' warning boldly plastered all over my FSBO listings, agents nevertheless lined up at my doors with the usual pitch even when notified in writing to cease communication, still wanting ERTS, throwing fits and all, sometimes even disrupting my open houses under the guise of bringing 'buyers ready to sign' that were 'on their way'  yet never showed.Granted over those years, there were 1 or 2 out of dozens upon dozens agents who were up for the challenge to compete with my own offers, but most others were just too greedy or whatever and just would reiterate the holdover clause like parrots, pretending to not understand holdover clause is why exclusive agency without right to sell remains a viable compromise and formidable challenge to truly measure up to.have you as investors (and/or as agents) ever had similar gripes with stubborn/aggressive agents who yet weren't up for the challenge competing with the owner(s) themselves to find the best offer that successfully closes?

And I look like I'm not greedy since I could have insisted on the full 8%. 

I have been trading in the stock market for years as an options and futures trader.

Also, if you do find that 50% deal don't get greedy and mark it up to 65% and I'll be back 10 times a year.

This decision by the day traders was rational in the sense they could use this tax money to make more money in the long run to more than cover the extra interest and penalties they would incur from delaying their tax payments.
