For a quick observation I will see if I can scratch out some mortar with a knife or key.

I’m just observing and taking it all in.

In that case, they would most likely have the seller sign a "non-representation" disclosure.The other duties that a transaction broker has, in my state, are: Dealing honestly and fairlyAccounting for all fundsUsing skill, care, and diligence in the transactionDisclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyerPresenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writingLimited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party, that prevents disclosure of the motivation of any party for selling or buying property, any party's willingness to agree to financing terms other than those offered, or of any other information requested to remain confidentialAny additional duties that are mutually agreed to with a partyMost sellers in my area would expect to pay the agent's fee, as well as the customary title insurance and closer's fees -- that depends on what's customary in your area, and agent would tell you what to expect. 

That was a really schrewd observation of you, and it makes sense as to why she might have a high sensitivity to debt.

Could be timing/seasonality related because our LTR pricing tool is using rolling 3 months of transactions... but it's close enough that I didn't think we can say we're observing that assumed margin difference. 

Based on my observation, sellers are getting $25k over asking.

I've observed some of my dearest friends in Singapore remotely managing their properties in the US, and now, I'm ready to follow in their footsteps.

Question about the 10% penalty and the time to put capital gains to work.Let's assume I create an opportunity zone fund on the 180th day after I observe the capital gains.It appears to me I have another 180 days to fully invest that capital before being subject to the 10% penalty clause.If I start the OZF prior to the 180th day, even if I don't invest any capital -- I think I define the 180 day wickets.  

Just any observation or experience you all have had with a property of this size would be greatly appreciated.
