Fees and points charged on the hybrid mortgage averaged 0.5 per cent, unchanged from last week.CheersShirly

That's more fair than wasting your time and ours on re-reviewing identical paystubs and an unchanged credit report every 3 months.(2) Your agent is right.

They options they presented to us are as follows:Contribute $85K towards 200K remodel; base lease extended 10 years from 8/2014; four 5 Year options and increases.Contribute $0 towards remodel; base lease extended 10 years from 8/2014; Rent remains unchanged for next 10 years; four 5 Year options and increases.This sounds a little questionable to me; and the circumstances are a little questionable. 

So seller pays the commission though so your purchase price is unchanged. it would be different if the agent called back and said , "the seller accepts your price but we need to add 6% on top for my commission," that would of course make it more expensive for you and i would understand your frustration. but it doesn't sound like that is what happened. you needed to have a signed contract. all this happened when offer was just floating in the air. it sounds like the agent disclosed his family relationship to the seller tooI dont think your agent and pm are being unethical about the matter but the only way i could see you having a case here is if you made the agent and seller sign a non disclosure agreement regarding your offer because then the agent could not tell their relatives how much to offer to out bid you.

Both have an anti-goverment redderic that is just not useful or constructive; basically unchanged since the 90s, no matter who was president.

We would offer less, as it has been sitting for a while unchanged.

Cap rates are unchanged in 6 mos while interest rates have risen.  

I still don't have the signed renewed lease so I contact the company because I also notice that I get June's rent check and the payment is still unchanged.

One concern I have is that as long as interest rates remain low (unchanged or lower) and the payments are being made, the bank would have little incentive to exercise the Due on Sale clause against you.

Beyond that, don't spend too much time worrying about the nuances until you have an actual property actually tied up with an actual fully executed purchase contract, with a 45-60 day close.Down payment and occupancy requirements remain unchanged.
