This owner is not willing to lower the price so I will be walking away from the deal.  

You can lower those appliance costs by waiting for sales or buying floor models.

Current Situation:My offer has been accepted and I have 9 days of due diligence remaining.My Ask:Without reading “The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (or Low) Money Down” YET...What are some methods/strategies to lower my upfront costs for the down payment, while not getting beat up on interest rates?

In fear it will still remain vacant in August, I've lowered it to $1225.

However, I've also heard that the government is lowering their voucher amounts so that they can provide more vouchers to more families.

Now, there's a lower barrier to entry as the person buying this property may only need to come up with 50k to buy the property with a 10k assignment fee.

Expense, vacancy rate, interest for non-owners occupied seems to be lower than what I know. 

(Most restoration companies don't renovate because margins are much lower renovating.

I know many great CPAs who structure their business so that they can deliver quality service at a lower rate.

I would like to know offer example such as offer to pay full 15% of commission, but lower rent or offer asking rent price with lower commission (such as 10%).Just a quick math, if I paid 12.5% in fee and $1650, then the equivalent rent would be $1856.25 = ($1650 x 12 + $2475)/12Another example would be, 15% in fee and $1550 is $1705 = ($1550 x 12 + $1860)/1210% in fee and $1750 in rent is $1925 = $1750 x 12 + $2100)/12 (this would be higher than the current offer...)So I guess the math says, lowering the rent will help over all cost for me...?
