Although, to be extra safe maybe I will allocate 5k towards a realtor fee and adjust my max offer price.

Colorado is a beautiful place; the weather is a slight adjustment over Texas however :wink:

If we wait another 10-15 to change without adjusting it in some way to inflation, we will have deterred way too much investment and some will have chosen to cut back on their amount of labor and earnings potential.

As long as the home has potential, more so for long term tenants than can make adjustments to the rental so that it feels like home.

I think my tone comes across as argumentative (I'm an insurance adjuster - I have gotten attorneys to apologize to me for "being such an attorney") but you really can't take individual disagreement between two people too seriously until it crosses certain lines.

Thanks gentlemen I am going to adjust the price and see what type of results that produces.

You will then let the current owner know that they will get cashed out if this new buyer performs on a lease option (assuming that is what you did) or you can collect the deposit put the renter or L/O tenant in and sell the property as Turn Key- Then just adjust the price to what it would sell for quickly in your market...

So if it needs $10k we adjust our price by $20k (this is not set in stone)...

Hi Ali-I am a newbie investor, but I can't think of anything other than the loan being an ARM and the interest rate got adjusted.

Now if the approvals are coming out a lot faster then that throws off the timing to find an end buyer so how have short sale investors been able to adjust to this whole new set of timing when working with the banks?
