Mainly because I can craft the mortgage a little more (no pre-payment penalties, lower down payment, etc.) and eliminate the fees charged by lenders and brokers.One of the benefits of purchasing a listed property is that the broker will normally set the seller's expectations a bit more than you just contacting them off the street.It comes down to what the seller really wants: a certain price, interest, down payment, or term.

I contacted the power company, and they directed me to the tax assessor's office to inquire about obtaining a separate address for the pool house.

To know if they truly own the property, you would need to look up the tax rolls. 

The first step toward this goal is for the city council to recognize the harm caused by maintaining a high commercial tax rate, which drives companies away from the city.Hopefully, we can explore more avenues to generate employment opportunities for Worcester residents, empowering them to work and sustain themselves.

Best time to lease up in our market is spring, and right when tax refunds are coming back.

General question about smokers - Can we charge a flat annual fee to a smoking tenant to run an ozone machine?  

For restaurants, rent should ideally be under 10% of gross sales, so I believe $5,500 a month is fair.The seller doesn't have a rent roll or strong financials, and his tax returns are 50% lower than his claims.

About 680 per month after 3.5 yrs it would be just cash flow . taxes on the property are low.

The taxes are high and their building codes are strict to ensure the homes stay historic looking.Note: You can definitely open an AirBnB in Cleveland but it would have to be a condo downtown for $240k or so that allows it.

Has anyone had experience for assessed property value appeal and/or has general advice on lowering property tax you could share?
