Ensuring your house will pass a Section 8 inspection may require additional items.Even though I got a credit from the seller to fix a broken pipe, I still overpaid, given what I ended up spending.

Commercial leases nearly always require tenants to pay for repairs and maintenance, and the contractual mechanisms for ensuring performance are well-established.2) Get the master lessee to pay a higher lease, but cover the cost of repairs and maintenance yourself (as landlord).

I run a market data analysis company for investors, and we track a great deal of multifamily information including cap rates in a number of markets.

No buyer will buy a house for $250,000 if he can get the same thing for $230,000...regardless of what has happened in the past...unless they are ill-informed.In addition, be careful about "sold" data that a realtor gives you from MLS.

Ensure the offer is submitted to the bank6. wait for the bank to order the appraisal or BPO7.

Thanks for all of your advises, it turns out this agent is in the middle of quitting (or being fired) from the current broker and getting in to another; he has been sitting on doc for over 3 weeks (mostly basic REO disclosures that needed to be signed and return to selling agent) that he didn’t know how to pull them out of Windforms (Realtor Online Contract data base); asked seller’s agent questions about them over and over; lack of REO knowledge (REO Specialist printed on his card) and couldn’t care less for his last few clients…Relayed the facts above (with a little help from the selling agent) in addition to the tangible misled evident to my agent’s boss and got only 18 moths worth HOA fee ($810) credited.Yes, another rookie’s lesson learn; just didn’t think he would be that much out of line for a major issue like such; considering he’s a 72 year old guy with shallow ethic.

I give more weight to solds than listings, but if there are multiple listings of comparable properties in the same area, then they define an upper bound on the value.Based on that data, I'd say $70K for the first deal is not a good deal at all
