If there is no lease this week, I have decided to replace him because he is charging me $100/month even though the unit is vacant (higher than what he will charge me when unit is occupied), but he won't charge extra for tenant replacement, which is unusual among PMs.

Like I suggested a few posts up, he just had to get something in writing from the 1031 exchange facilitator confirming that this is on the up-and-up, since it's a relatively unusual scenario.

It's possible they have an unusual situation .As an example, there is a house near me people ask about: shortsale $300,000.

It will help warm the place up, add some life and not point out anyting unusual for those Buyers who notice the little details like me 😁The entryway looks like your typical 70s brick that's just been painted and needs something like partial cedar, wood type material boost that would match some of the other colors inside the house.the front door with the mailbox slot doesn't work for me at all.

It would be very unusual for a owner occupant to have "their title company".  

One of the other more unusual things was the financing.

There are some "gurus" that will even give you a plan for free if you agree to do a deal or two with them.The only time you need to write out your own plan is if you're doing something more unusual; such as converting private residences into commercial property, rehabbing a vacant high-rise tower, or ...Residential rehabs, rentals, bird dogs are all pretty standard business strategies and they work.

A 10% increase means you lose $3000 on the deal while a 5% increase makes for an $8000 loss.Ben Bernanke himself says the economic outlook is "unusually uncertain".Buy a house that makes sense right now.

Nothing unusual, just the regular stuff.Say you bought a building with a roof that was passable.

Apparently that is what similiar homes sold for in the area and if there is a mortgage involved that is what the lender is going to base their mortgage on.This is not an unusual occurance the seller may or not know what their house is worth and a third party has put a value on it.Time develop your horse trading skills.
