WOW, I'd say you need to think about other things, like politics or economics or bond financing, all three couldbe key in such a project.The city migh build it if you donate the land and sweeten the dealTax credits might be used or the city ot other financing agency might provide or back a bond issue to pay for rereational projects.Now, if you mean a club house and a pool, that would be with the HOA and would usually go in toward the end of the development. :)

Especially if you know rents are low you already know you can sweeten the cashflow up after purchase.

To sweeten the deal, you can offer to return some of his deposit immediately upon his moving out, provided he doesn't cause any major damages.

The seller financing does sweeten the deal if you're going to hold.

I was certainly planning to leave enough spread there to enable an interest rate "sweetener" if needed to entice the reinvestment.I like the idea of IO.

not really. i think a good inspector will catch the same things for HO or investor. a bad one will miss-inform both types of clients. just watch Homes Inspection and you will see crazy stuff inspectors miss.having said that, i never hire an inspector. i know more about houses and home improvement than 90% of them. by the time i place and offer i have already inspected the house. i put "no inspection required" and they think i am nuts. one more way to sweeten their "deal" and make them accept my offer.

Dealerships usually have an F&I guy, even a department, separate from the sales staff and management, like car dealers, larger organizations don't have these issues but a one guy shop can have problems.Another point is that if you agreed to repurchase any defaulted note from a lender who did your deal, a repurchase agreement, that would really sweeten the deal for them if you can show the ability to buy it back or at least take the collateral, sell it and pay them off.

Its not listed on MLS at this point if that sweetens the deal.

I plan on eliminating this by putting some of the 20 maintenance workers we have at the company and I would give him a discount on the apartment for him to be the super (these guys are familiar with everything they maintain our 650,000 sq ft warehouse.)I'm not expecting to become rich overnight but I see this as a good investment and a good chance to create some equity.To sweeten the deal I would also offer the employees a ride to work (buy a 15 passenger van) for a nominal weekly/monthly fee which would help cover the driver's pay.Pros:1.

From my perspective i'm already doing all the comps in the area etc got my super awesome inspector to check the property and a very good lawyer who helps as well.Market is getting a bit warmer and im just trying to figure out if i can sweeten the deal for the selling side. and if i can what are the drawbacks if any
