You want to give them enough money to live on for some period of time to let them adjust to the new reality.

But their wages have increased tremendously over the past three decades (since they started economic liberalization) and their businesses have adjusted to that partly by increased productivity and partly through higher value items.

So, until the first day you can post, you're stuck.If someone has a problem paying by the day its late, I'll make an adjustment in the due date by a day or two.

My parents are also looking at buying a mobile home park or apartment complex in the next few years after the alt A loans adjust sometime after December.

Even after adjusting for property taxes, Texas is #4 and Florida is #8.

I have negotiated inspection adjustments on REOs but never on a SS.

With free and clear properties you can adjust rents down in a tough market and still cash flow, while those that are highly leveraged cannot.

I'd find out if there is going to be an ongoing issue, and if so, adjust the late period.

I would suspect that you don't know or haven't posted the whole story.... as the dollar amount is ridicules as I'm sure you would agree -perhaps its a response to your friend making a ridicules proposal.Typically, one would sit down with the insurance adjuster and come to an agreement of the scope of the work and amount to pay for it.

If I'm doing this completely backwards or wrong all the way around, let me know so that I can adjust and move forward :wink: Thanks a bunch for the help
