To me, that would be a useless source of frustration and I didn't see the positive in getting frustrated over such a request. 

I haven't gone to see the property yet, but I'm also thinking of seeing if there is a way to convert basement into a 2/1 unit as well.Thanks in advance!

How would you structure an offer that gets the seller to see the value in this deal?

See, the rent ratio is a COMPLETE HOAX!

(Its ironic that designers love stand alone mirrors to visually expand the space and reflect light, yet its considered dated to have a huge mirror like that in the bathroom).From what I see, the thing today's bathroom mirrors have are frames surrounding the mirror.

From what I can see, the deed method can involve some more up-front costs, some of which you can negotiate or opt not to have   (seller buyout - unless seller agrees to wait; attorney if you want one involved; recording deed; notary, etc).  

I have yet to see the property but I ran some very conservative numbers and am still showing decent cash flow. 

You can see the timeline below and my question afterwards.Contract / Paperwork Timeline - April 29th - Submitted original documentation- May 4th - Received request from seller for revisions (submitted the corrections on the same day)- May 11th - Received the seller signed addendum (submitted paperwork for the inspection for Friday, May 15th)I never got a response from the realtor to say that he has received documentation or emails and he has not confirmed the inspection date or even let me know that he has received my request. - Considering the money involved, is it normal not to hear from your realtor and for things to take so long?

If you understand this ahead of time then you see the problem i'm talking about.  

I see the lien certs as a no brainer on returns and a sort of soft way to get my feet wet with REI.Jerry K., I'm looking at Monroe County.
