What conclusions do you think would dictate whether they can proceed with the sale or not? 

Anyway, I can't do this because my wife owns half our company and she is licensed -- RESPA dictates that licensed agents/sellers are not allowed to "steer" buyers to a particular broker.

I understand that you have cash, but that doesn't mean you don't need more for an investment and that will help dictate your decision in this situation.

Nhi,There really isn't a "small, medium, or large" dictation, but for our discussion purposes, small, medium or large is usually just brought upon by loan amount  Small balance in the commercial arena tends to be all sub-$1MM loan amounts, which a lot of lenders don't like to do for the reason that there are many requests above $1MM and the same amount if not more work goes into these "smaller" deals as larger ones, with obviously less payoff.  

I have no doubt that conversations leading up to the point dictate how you go about solving their problem, but it would be interesting to hear how those ideas are presented in a practical sense.

@Ian Walsh  Hard money rates never change  or at least very much and usually only come down in competitive markets like California.I think homeowner loans as the rates go up  ARMS become more popular.. lenders will find a product they can keep selling.. also markets will dictate if rates move and buyers balk... and mortgage originations go in the toilet.. that usually brings mortgage rates back down.. but we will see

That will dictate how many lots/units you can fit on the property.You should contact Terrance out of Bellevue- they do this all the time.

The effective ROI on the $100,000 is actually just 7.5%.Although lenders may dictate the terms they are willing to lend, experienced investors like myself also must AGREE to their dictated terms.  

Code(s) dictated the sonar tubing base, depth etc for new piers.

Nothing illegal about it at all...you can own as many properties on the street as you want and dictate the price (if the market will pay it).
