I do not know of any firm that would allow for a 50% commission reduction just because the buyer did not want any sort of representation.  

Ok look, I will be brutally honest to all sitting around saying there "waiting" on some giant ridiculous 30%+ reduction in prices: GOOD RIDDENCE!     

He is worth his weight in gold!

Hello Everyone,I bought a home back in January 2024 using my FHA loan and I received a call from Atlantic Capital Funding saying that I could FHA streamline (interest reduction) from my 6.625% to 5.7% and could even get two mortgage payments covered, (allegedly).

Same for emails, voicemails and texts.It doesn't sound like you were represented by a buyer's agent and this is a perfect example of why a good Realtor is worth his weight in gold. 

In the first situation, given the reduction in income and future income uncertainty, I would be selling those properties and moving into an area with true cash flow via the 1031 exchange.

I think having the flexibility to choose what weekends my family or friends wants to come into town out weights the consideration of putting a tenant in there full time.I have researched a bunch of things that come into consideration before starting this and I would love thoughts!

You can use this to help offset expenses if something bad happens while you begin the process of taking back your house.There are certainly risks involved, but you seem to imply that this is likely the best deal that you will get so you need to weight the pros/cons and see if it is a good fit for you.The alternative is to ask if instead of doing the deal sub2, if the buyer is willing to buy the home on a wrap. 

They can query from a bunch of forum discussion even as large as Reditt and give weight to multiple answers/opinions with all options being explained clearly.

We’ve negotiated a 20% reduction on the asking price with a 3 year leaseback option at $0 rent.My concerns and please share with the forum if you’ve researched the issue are:1.
