Normally, I wouldn't consider this at all, but given the tenant's 2 years at the property and their stated desire to purchase in addition to nearly identical existing comps in the past 6 months I'd feel confident in accurately coming up with fair market pricing.

Or are you some fake dude that is really in Botswana trying to steal my identity?

Maybe she’s a victim of identity theft.

with misinformation ;) I thought the topic warranted its own thread: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/16-reos/topics/52843-identity-of-interest-transactions-aka-non-arms-length-transactions-Long story short... unless the rules of changed considerably since 2003 (very possible), then it seems that if family member purchases home, then I lease and occupy for 6 months on formal lease, then buy with stated intent of primary residence.... all good. maximum LTV (3.5% down?)

There’s a gazillion posts identical to this already here on the forums with tons of input and feedback.

The houses are practically identical in size, age and condition, yet if I use 10% to estimate repairs & maintenance we are looking at $5,400 vs. $1,800.

Just curious, since Im in the process of setting up a corp identity for my company as well

If two properties are identical on paper but one requires a larger down payment, does that not mean you have more money at risk?  

Make sure it's the same identical thing every time, and feel free not respond texts or block them . 

Over time, this results in a premium over what they would have paid as a dividend.If you lay a maximum over-funded whole life illustration alongside a maximum over-funded IUL illustration, they will be virtually identical for the life of the policy.
