You could even use a lender to finance 50%, have her carry a 30% balance to allow you to come in with only 20% down (or some variation of that). 

Justin P. is right, I see variations of those numbers all day.

There are a lot of variations on cash buyer in REI.

In fact generally an appraiser will have no idea of the difference as there really isn't one.Financing as well will treat your home no different then a stick build, generally there is no variation available between stick & modular appraisals, financing, or real estate agents forms and processes.This is assuming that what you are looking at is a modular and not a mobile or manufactured home.Some of the early modular's had poor designs and looked like a mobile home down to the paneling in the walls.

Making the 70% ARV offer minus repairs is the #1 rule, but what variations of offers have you guys made that made sense for all parties involved.

The premise of escalation is the point of this post, I'm sure there are many variations on the specific terms.

You can have a second holding company in your home state, which owns the other one, but you need to have a presence.LegalZoom is sufficient for setting up a single-member LLC without any variations.

What is responsible for the variation in the tavern's rent (I assume it is based on a percentage of receipts but inquiries should be made as it seems the business is seasonable given the wide variation you cite).
