The best agents are worth their weight in gold, especially to those of us who have struggled for years trying to make all of the pieces fit.

@Stacy Smith , tax reduction strategies for real estate businesses and investors is not rocket science.

We have never raised his rent, always address any needs or concerns with urgency, and even give a December rent reduction with Christmas card and gift each year.

Weighted toward cashflow but would not say no to an slightly below market value strong appreciation play.

Is there anything else I need to do to be able to take that reduction for my wife?

It would be like casually jumping into a weight lifting circuit with a group of powerlifters. 

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend seeking opportunities to negotiate a reduced interest rate from a seller or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

Just to clarify on some things you are considering, we currently have some excellent incentives on new construction properties that may be interesting to explore as you continue your research on what the best options are for you based on your goals.Those incentive options include:-An immediate price reduction of up to 5% of the home price to allow for immediate equity.

This resulted in a substantial $2500 reduction in the sale price.

At least here in Reno, NV, we saw about an 8-10% reduction in median home prices from the peak of 2022.
