If he's looking for a lump sum of cash, he should structure the note to achieve as minimal a discount as possible.If he's fine with payments, then it should just be amortized fully, whether its 7, 10 or 15 years.Figure out what his needs and wants are; from there you can better piece together an offer and structure for the deal.

Those require a minimal amount of watering and can look nice if done well.

i checked her just liek my other tenants...i guess the lesson would be that some tenants pay, and some don't...budget and minimize risk the best you can..again, nothin you can do to predict it besides just expecting it at some point...at peter: as i mentioned, the deposit has been eaten up by rent she didn't pay, so that's a non issue, but i like your thinking-my time is money, and that's why i intend to not sit out there in the heat for hours upon hours...at mike: thank you for coming closest to answering my question...lol....all i want to know is what is a reasonable time frame to allow her to get her crap out...i wanna give her an hour...maybe 2, and that's it..i don't plan on wasting my saturday there while she moves her crap..again, i may just arrive 2 hours before our scheduled window and set it out for her...that might be the best idea..thanks again guys for your advice

In that time period, I'll be doing some minimal painting inside and some clean up outside.

Thanks - Off to suck down my chill pills :wink:

Sellers tend to minimize any problems, and taking a hard look at the issues the appraiser identified is certainly in order.

And an entrepreneur would find a way to minimize his costs to learn that information or even get paid to do it.

My goal is to maximize my profits, not minimize my cash outlay.

Have minimal central banking and let the market determine interest rates.

Mine didn't require testing, only a visual inspection by a person licensed to do so, and was done by the same company that did the demo.Despite the alure of the $2k listing price, don't give it minimal DD, give it more.
