Terms and conditions can matter just as much.I know a guy who did a lease/option where he has a 40 year option with a fixed sale price.

If it stays on the market then consider a fresh offer (the same or lower) later.It could be that the people who will handle the paperwork and will actually approve the sale are unclear as to the condition.

That implies a conditional payment based on the buyer and seller completing a deal.

I would suggest an excel spreadsheet to make evaluating properties easier. 1) what condition is the SFR currently in?

You still won't get the top rent for the market.More importantly, the tenant that overlooks the condition of the 30 year old kitchen is less likely to keep the new areas "new", so you end up redoing everything in a couple years anyway.IMHO, there is much more value in doing a complete rehab, with an eye toward minimizing future maintenance by design.

Anything else, the tenants will destroy or steal.MikeMike, the next time you pass through Honolulu, check out the condition of our concrete bus stop benches, and you will rethink this one...

It taught us basic troubleshooting techniques.If you are in any way handy at all, and can operate a Volt/Ohmmeter you can troubleshoot the system and you'll discover that many, if not most problems are NOT air conditioning problems but ELECTRICAL problems.By knowing how to troubleshoot here's some of the things that I found bad and replaced myself:Bad exhaust fan motor, the one on the outside unit.

You can also send the letter of debt forgivnes, 1099 to Social Services (Welfare) or Sec 8 if they are reciepients.

I get that an appraisal is nothing more than an opinion, but what about the condition of the inside that you cannot see by driving by?

If you mean that market conditions are worsening, then I would lower the price and sell it now.
