The nerve of some people makes me shake my head.

There's not a simple answer...the answers to your questions require examination of relevant tax treaty(ies) and analysis of the facts and circumstances.

I will talk to listing agent, clearly we need to re-examine the price point.This is a PMcompany.

I have passed the pre-licensing courses and I'm just waiting to take my exam in a week and it takes a whole month for the application to go through the state in my state.

I am in the same boat when it comes to wracking my brain about a purchase in State College. 

So I decided to open this can of worms which is sure to hit a nerve with many on both sides.

Build the higher rate into your numbers when you're examining whether a property is a good deal in the first place.

But now "insisted" on a specialist to examine my hip.

It’s not they mind getting paid $1100/m, but they’re still concerned about getting their $110,000 back, and a deal that drags on with no exit in sight is likely nerve wracking for the lender. 

I am a shark in the negotiation chair, and the example above is a simple examination of that.If you hire a agent to defend your interests, then by all means... go right ahead and direct them to get you the most possible.
