Buyer's maybe in a position to leverage and renegotiate a fair price they feel is justified, but Seller's on the other hand are not ready to lose their shirt, give in and settle for a deal they don't feel fair and justified.Any thoughts or feedback will be appreciated, without a doubt, real estate market has and will continue to be impacted, but do you feel the commercial real estate market has taken a nose dive or a starting a downswing cycle, will this be damage be temporary or permanent?

If they lose a significant amount on resale it is really damaging to the profitability for that house, if they do that consistently across a market they cannot continue.

I ended up buying a house I had never set foot in, and was so confident in his ability to spot the cause of some damage that looked worse than it was, that I was able to beat a bunch of other cash offers by removing the inspection contingency.

Ask people before they physically walk through if they are willing to sign a lease, write the check, complete the background investigation prior to seeing the house.

No physical items to worry about.

Custodianship of the physical collateral file is an additional charge for most and should not be a requirement of the servicer.
