(If sent before 7 EST)I need to know WHAT is not the norm - e.g (can't show income, filed Bandruptcy two days ago, switched jobs -different industry)If you have those one offs and truly need an honest opinion if the deal can work or not...just shoot me an email.

Thanks for your honest response Walter.I respect your experience, but as far as "undoable", I struggle withsuch a term.

A lot of these are intangibles and hard to place a $ value on.If you've really checked out the others, and can honestly say yours in among the top 2, I'd price it around $275-$280 (IF IT WAS LISTED), minus the 6% to make it $263,500, or minus 1/2 the commission to make it $272,000.I've known some people who used the lower number and put in their ads that it will increase in 30 days when I list it with the Realtor, therefor YOU can save the entire commission by buying NOW.The big problem with FSBO pricing that I always see is that both the seller and the buyer want ot save the 6%.

I think He charged $150 I honestly forget.

to me this is up front and honest.

This is the conversation before we exit the house most days.Im a patient man, but I plan on suing for the square footage of the house that was rendered useless because of the barking of the dogs (per month), honestly, I'd like to try for the entire mortgage payment, for the time spent trying to get the neighbors to comply.(6 months as of right now).

So be honest..Would you buy it as a realtor, invester, or retail seller?

Ripping one garage down, but keeping the shop garage. ( very nice garage, a car restorers dream honestly )..

Ya, honestly get that term bird dog completely out of your head.

Taking a 3-5 year viewpoint of cash flow (review leases, rent rolls, etc.) and expenses (review tax returns, P&L statements, etc.) will allow the investor to budget for such incidents you speak of and is far more exacting then the standard rationalization you suggest.
