If you're trying to get rid of something big or ugly (or both) just remember that there are recyclable opportunities that are good for your wallet!

They are a debt fund, they have a warehouse line of credit from somewhere, or they are relying on the secondary market to buy their loans so they get recycle the money.

Today, we are experiencing considerably more financing requirements than the past, and lenders are learning to actually use metrics to gage a person's ability to service debt and the underlying collateral, rather than simply originate, recycling the loan, then walk away. 100% financing to individuals w/ 600 FICOs is laughable these days, but was a reality in the past.

Forced appreciation is a MUST to recycle the capital to keep on growing one's portfolio. 

2% and 1% are numbers that are best used to describe milk...not real estate.  

And especially in SF, with rent control and urban density, you literally get extreme and absurd situations like a multi million dollar condo literally RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a rent controlled flat where the immigrant inhabitants (6 in a small 2BR) collect recyclables in their back yard.  

For failure to recycle, for putting trash out too early, for not using proper trash containers, etc.

That's why the milk is at the end of the supermarket.

John, Way to milk every ounce of drop out of that one.

Mostly because if the guy is messing around with you now and trying to milk the deal I wouldn't really trust him.
