The realtor solved both your problem and the seller's.

got a 4 unit building for sell in the north suburbs of chicago that cost 25k over apprised value but seller said they are will to hold the financing with 100k down. rents out for just over market rates leaving a noi of around 30k. so my question is, even tho he's over market and appraised value, but willing to hold the balance of mortgage, is this deal worth it?

Hey BPI had a motivated Seller contact me recently in response to an ad I posted on Craigslist and she is very motivated but she owes 50k on the property and the median sales price for homes recently sold in that area is only around 66k.

Purchase Price: $57,000 direct from motivated seller. 

The code enforcement officer said he mentioned these issues to the sellers and the sellers' agent.

A door lacking a screen might not be material.The real question is, "How much, if at all, will you as a seller yield on your price for these items?" 

My question is, if I make a purchase using myself as a broker, is it possible to receive a credit from the seller when acting as my own agent instead of receiving a brokerage fee?

My question is what is the process once you do receive a call from a motivated seller?  

Should be able to ask the seller to pay 3% in closing costs 

@Jazz Wilson,I'm sure the non-paying tenants are playing a huge part of the seller's reason for selling.
