You rattled off a handful of strategies and I think you should be looking bigger picture than refrigerators and having a shared space. 

I just found this all out, so am a bit rattled, maybe it will be easilyresolved, but feeling a bit stressed by it at the moment.Thanks for any suggestions, insight, or other experiences you may have.

But sometimes I do believe its easier to be able to rattle off a series of questions and get your answers.

I would hope they are just looking to rattle you, maybe "tax" you a few hundred and not the up to $15K threat.

I'd be rattling their cage real quick.

Of course, every time I'd have the list of work that we did there to rattle off to the other broker as well as the two perfect comps and yet they'd still be questioning the much higher price it was now listed for!

plus of course you have that 14k rattling around in your pocket, rinse and repeat.These are fairly conservative figures but they depend on a number of important variables:The income and expenses are close.There's not a ton of deferred maintenance or building components at the end of their life.That the seller will accept 8% interest only (it's really pretty good compared to the alternatives today, maybe he'd even take less).That you can refi at 75LTV and something close to 6% in five or so years (with three or four years of solid operating history you should be able to refi... or sell at a nice profit).And of course that you can operate the property to those numbers.Good hunting-
