I am wondering in this kind of situation, do landlord normally give a rent reduction, and if so, how much do people generally give?

I have lived in my home for 10 years, now i am planning to move to bigger home and rent the present one.I understand that if I sell the home within the next 3 years, there will no be no capital gains tax, I made a profit of 200k.if i rent my home for 3k/month, I get 36k per year, my deductions will be :depreciation of 10k, mortgage interest of 10k and property tax of 10kso I am getting a net profit of 6k/year and other reductions in my gross income. how is this a good deal?

Would you agree with market rent reduction for a tenant who is behind on current rent?

I left the apartment in better condition that I received it, so there are no reductions from that standpoint.

The second property took one large reduction and then a bidding war occurred, getting us close to list price.

Other positives are capturing depreciation, seeing a property appreciate over time and principal debt reduction (if you use leverage) paid by a renter.

Well, it's been listed with steady price reductions now for over a year, and not much activity.

Unfortunately I will probably take a reduction in income for awhile until I can grow it enough to replace my current income but I would like to invest in RE sooner rather than later.

My cash on cash returns are well over 15% and principal reduction is an additional bonus.

Oh, another thing, pledging securities "against the box" you need to be aware that if a bond price falls, you'll need to pony up that difference to the collateral level required and they may not take into consideration the principal reduction of the loan, they may look to lower risk levels later on.
