If they want all cash, then the deal will have to reflect that.

Home prices are beginning to reflect the demand. 

For example, an investor might purchase a fixer-upper in a "hot" neighborhood, substantially renovate it, then offer it at a price that reflects its new state-of-the-art appearance and amenities.

I am reluctant to divide the utility bill for that cycle up equally by day, and then charge her for the days she has been present, as the tenant may say that this calculation doesn't reflect her actual usage. 

I am also concerned that their poor performance is negatively reflecting on my business and damaging the reputation that I am trying to build in the community. 

Manassas is similar to southern parts of Woodbridge in age/type/condition of housing, there are definitely different levels of clientele throughout the different neighborhoods and it's reflected relatively accurately in pricing. 

Are you sure this isn't a reflection of your personal situation, @Justin Rogers?

If the seller really is motivated to sell he’ll have to come to terms with a buy down or price cut to reflect the lack of financing available.

I'm not saying never invest in that type of property, I am saying don't do it without significant operating experience to be able to develop a real proforma that will be reflected in reality.

I think agents oftentimes try to mark the price up to reflect the quality of the house.
