After looking at the information the agent gave me it looks to me like he was too close on his payments and when the property value rose dramatically from the cities investment he could no longer keep up with the payments and the taxes because the property taxes rose correspondingly over that same short period all at once on his properties.

You can even include a note with the rejection that states that it is a partial payment and that is not acceptable.Alternatively, you can send HER a request for the full amount, so that when she goes to pay, she uses the request you originated.I don't see why you should go to such dramatic options to close your account.

The problem is the rules vary so much from area to area it dramatically affects the strategies.

@Scott Buckner I can't say whether I would buy the property or not - I don't know anything about the context.If it was in decent condition, on the edge of a super hip area and I knew I could turn over the tenant base and increase rents dramatically - I would snap it up!

Cashflow for the same property can be dramatically different based on down payment, loan term and interest rate.

Leverage is what makes real estate attractive to many investors it increases return dramatically but it also increases risk.
