The important part is that if you are you can offset ordinary income, otherwise it can only off set passive income or a limit of 25k.I am not an accountant, but this is my understanding.

Your completely right the important part is getting started. 

The best part is that this guy is planning on firing any employee that will not get vaccinated.

When you are moving to a new primary residence, the lender will also do all sorts of employment checks where they use a 3rd party company to contact your employer to verify you are either able to work remote or will be physically working in that location. 

The most important part is accurate comps and repair costs.

The second option is seller financing with a higher offer but I control the terms.I am hoping that he shifts his focus to choosing between the 2 offers and we close on a deal because it's a win-win for both parties! 

If you frequently do owner/agent deals do you run into issues with the counter party where they want a better deal because they know you are saving money on commission or due a commission (buy side)? 

Looking for a structure that is fair for both parties.

You'll be surprised the type of creative structuring in deals you can come up with that end up being beneficial for all parties involved.
