For me, I feel this way because every estimate I've ever had from a handyman was ridiculously high.

If it's something ridiculous like "our closet door won't latch well"... we don't really rush to it. 

I don't condone his crimes, but if he's okay and fully functioning right now and paying rent and maybe even a nice guy, then kicking him out would just be ridiculous.

Even if he thought the offer was ridiculous, he cant come out and say this offer is ridiculous.

I would be a ridiculously long and expensive flip.

Find an opportunity and run with it... to say the stock market hasn’t gone up or that the RE market hasn’t gone down is ridiculous... act like an investor and identify opportunities and, when It happens, take your losses and run with them... no one who invested (intelligently) over the last 10-15 years is losing money on any asset class... if you want to be on the Forbes 20 list CREATE something... but I can guarantee you Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc.

Your profit is someone else's loss" is utterly ridiculous and sounds like some socialist rhetoric.

Agree, from a practical point of view, it is a ridiculous request....do you think a buyer is going to do inspections, go through the Actual mtg approval process, pay for appraisals, etc all the while knowing other people may be doing this and they could be doing it for nothing?

I think a lot of owners are finding that out, especially at a ridiculous $350 PSF build out cost.

I looked into a couple here in Columbia and the regime/HOA fees were ridiculous to say the least.
