I want to give back to my community and be a positive influence to my students and anyone else that i can help.

More specifically, I am curious if/how the timeliness of the Freddie Mac's response and the amount of the counteroffer in relation to your offer influences your response to their counteroffer.  

Appreciation like that scares me, because my gut says it's always followed by a monster crash (I lived on Long Island during the last big crash - and seeing that firsthand influenced me greatly.)And what the heck are you doing in South Korea?

It might be difficult to retain control/influence in the transaction, but you're already handling the role of broker right now.

Capture rate of sphere of influence went way up.  

That builds your influence and your money.

I have read: "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," by Dale Carnegie, "Made in America" by Sam Walton, "American Sniper" by Chris Kyle, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and currently reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," "The Snowball: Warren Buffet and The Business of Life" by Alice Shroeder.

You can build a spreadsheet fairly quickly with a sensitivity analysis using Excel to see how the variance in the loan terms will influence your cash flow.

Some don't take the time to find out what the local rental market is like but others apply a uniform rent based on square footage and not taking into account other market influences such as location or amenities.So it pays to ask specific questions about experience, knowledge, licensing, training, and simply to find out if the Realtor is someone you can work with in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

You can buy 10 4 unit buildings using government sponsored 30 year fixed rate loans at 4 % or 4 10 units at 20 year variable rate loans at 5%.Having said that, if it were me, I would not let that influence me much.
