Unwilling to drop contract immediately after noticing the contract needs a price reduction due to condition of the property (inspections) or lack of buyer interest (namely because they got it under contract for too much)3.

This is not a loss of return, just a deferral until we feel comfortable releasing the funds.If you are in the middle of a raise for a deal closing in the next 30-90 days, you will need to communicate with your current investors that have committed funds letting them know that you took your option to extend in hopes to get better financing and depending on the economic occupancy in two months, potentially a price reduction.

You have it hooked to two points that are not meant to hold a person's weight. 

My theory is that millennial buyers are not inclined to want to landlord and, hence, the duplex market is weighted heavily toward investors who are too canny to overpay because of emotional response to a property.   

You get older the extra million doesn't carry the same weight as an extra year of quality life left to live.

I can't seem to get this house rented even after many rent reductions.

When an appraiser appraises the property, they will do all three and weight them accordingly based on the type of property and strength of the data.

No previous evictions is my top priority, then income verification, then score and weight different negatives less/more(old doctor bill, student loans, etc)... best of luck!

Currently homes are sitting on the market for months and have multiple price reductions. 

The combination of low fuel prices and the huge reduction in tourism is going to hit Alaskans hard statewide.I live and invest in Homer, AK.
