Pay would be negotiable based on background.

You can then re-negotiate the offer if there are more repairs required than expected.Like a previous poster said, they don't want to disturb the tenants for every tire kicker that comes along.Hope this helps.Jeff V

I am buying a duplex, I negotiated the price of a new roof in my deal.

I know 6% is standard, less if one can negotiate.

@Blaine Cox It CAN work, but its largely based on geography and how shrewd of a negotiator you are, it sounds like in the example above you needed a lower purchase price or a way to decrease the rehab cost 

You basically assign your rights to somebody else (investor) and they perform on the contract you negotiated.

They’re below market on their rents ($32.50 for a 5x10 - should be between $35 and $40) and $45 for a 10x10 which should be between $50 and $55. 22 of 24 units are full, so I doubt anyone would move even with a $10/month increase.Owner and I negotiated two years ago and was left off at a $55,000 purchase price, $15,000 down, 6.5% interest, and a balloon payment in 8 years.

I focused on a more detailed market analysis, being more knowledgeable on homes and prices of materials/installation costs within the homes and used that to position me as a pro in negotiations and setting higher prices for listings and being able to make strong arguments for those prices.

We are negotiating right now but the sellers rep said they are asking for a 3% Buyers Fee?

Tenants do not have a choice as to what they pay and it is not negotiable.
