Purchase: He says banks don't offer 30 year loans for CRE.

If the seller only offers 1% and you have signed the form stating you are willing to pay 3, then you will make up the difference (2%).

Happy to connect and offer assistance where I can!

If everything is working for you, why even entertain the offer.

Thus, if we were in your shoes, we would offer the space to the candidate, but share that the house is going to be co-ed.

Does your market offer Duplex/Triplex/Fourplex housing?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

If it is being sold as-is and they are only entertaining cash offers, it could be because the house is not habitable in which case a bank won't touch it with a mortgage. 

Thank you for your offer.

You can make the argument that if an investor wants it, they will submit an offer whether it is listed with a Realtor or not.
