This can take a huge weight off your shoulders and ensure you're making informed investment decisions.

If your PM is recommending a reduction of $100 on a $2000 a month rental property but you don't want to lose that money every month.

I am in the Tampa Florida market and they make a killing here and are worth their weight in gold to the owners of the community.  

That is approximately a 10% reduction in rent! 

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

Another thing to consider is the opportunity cost of the property. if you are unable to negotiate repairs while under contract, a price reduction, or a credit at closing.

Negotiation, can you get huge price reduction from the seller on concessions or on the purchase price..

Concerned, I asked my real estate agent if I should push for a price reduction.

There are several other issues with this; but just know at it's core it's an attempt at tax avoidance-not tax reduction.
