@Collin Goodwin and @Michael DeFrancisis have offered great podio opinions in the forums. 

Contrary to what you hear on these forums, banks do not have as high fees as everyone imagines.

Posted my life story....and a bit about this deal in a separate post. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/432/topics/542550-my-10-year-journey-to-purchase-my-first-24-unit-apartment-complex@Khalil Bachir

I'm trying to understand the context where the agent would reject a higher offer in favor of a lower one, so I would appreciate the expertise of any agents in the forums so that I can avoid this costly mistake again.    

I have listened to the podcasts, read blogs, followed forums to help educate myself on the market trends.

I don't want to violate any BP rules by recommending in the forums. 

(ps I put this in the Foreclosure forum as I don't know where else it should be, and it will be a foreclosure if it doesn't sell in a few months)

I tried searching through the forums before posting, but did not find any recent information that I could glean off.

But if $50 to $75/mo means a lot to a tenant and they are willing to take the trash out and it works with your cashflow numbers it will avoid those pesky fines and turnover/vacancy which is probably much more costlyI found this one from this string helpful https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/145..."

By the way I need to learn how to link the specific person I am talking to in this forum...any help would greatly appreciated.
