previously it worked as so$1k a month rent so they would take 12 months and divide it by 8% equalling $960 paid to them once they placed a tenant (ok fine, most of them do it like that anyways) then, they would take out their 8% percent every month equalling $80 rightNOW they're not only taking out the $960 but also the $80 times 12 months up front totally $1,920 for a property that rents at $1000.00 a monthI think b/c they're having so many financial problems that this will only increase their issues and then to top it off, who's to say they won't continue to suck at being a PM company now that they've been paid up front

Where and when it is needed.If you purchase a "buy and hold" rental and your purpose is to unwind it for a profit when your income is at a lower tax rate, typically retirement, then that is where and when you sell it unless1- a cash situation requires sale now or2- a bubble dictates a better cash return converting to cash and investing at a risk-free rate, typically treasury rate and equaling or bettering the same situationIf you have been holding a property for 20+ years, the yearly return on original investment is often well over 50% per year, sometimes 100% per year, rents rising and tenants paying off the mortgages and all.Now, return on current value is no where near that, but that is not a criteria.If we unwind, recapture depreciation, pay our taxes, and are left with cash, will that same income be available to us with the same tax implications?
Ivan Poon First time homebuyer: is it better to go with a short sale or regular home?

I get 13,109.813) So it appears if i go with a regular home, i'll save 8K (tax credit) plus 13,109.81 which equals 21109.81 in present value savingsIf i go for the short sale, i'll have 26219.62 (13109.81 times 2) in savings, thus i get about 5k extra in savings going with the short sale.I may also buy as much as 400K in housing, so the higher i go, the more savings i'd get from a short sale.Did i do this right?

Brian Wall Flip a short sale flip?
4 September 2009 | 5 replies
Brian, here's my input: I don't think people will pay too much for what is basically a listing....because finding the end-buyer is equally as important as finding the listing, otherwise there's no deal.
