I felt bad for him because he can’t afford going above the last price I mentioned in a fair market value, but I really can’t let go of this property if I can’t find something of equal value and interest rate.

Seems like a fair amount of red tape before you can build.

Find a realtor that isn't pushy and clearly communicate your goals in real estate. 

Every situation will differ based on the investors expectations and value of their capital.I would say somewhere in the 7-10% range would be fair for both sides.A little more expensive than traditional funding and a little less expensive than HML.

It’s from a popcorn ceiling that was improperly removed so now we must do cleanup... 12k to wipe down and remove everything from the condo another8k to deal with the common areas that were affected - does that sound fair to you??

Drain Maintenance -  Any time the truck or the bikes get super muddy they go to the coinop carwash for a rinse - I'd rather leave the muddy mess at the carwash instead of in front of my house - I imagine those drains have to be cleared out fairly often.Winter:  Looks like you're in TX, so might not be as big of an issue for you, but during winter here in UT those hoses are constantly running to avoid freezing.

I am in communication with the consultant my lender recommended to see if this is feasible for him.

It’s a great house, fairly new (built in 2015) and the neighborhood isn’t bad.

I don't know what would be fair asking, am estimating 400-450k?

This repair took place over the course of 3 weeks and we received no communication about it and were never asked to approve the expense.
