Maybe they will be willing to drop the interest rate to 4 or 5% for the first 5 years.

The value of the house dropped drastically a year after I bought the townhome but then climbed back up to where it started, and seems that it will continue to climb.

He paid a extermination company to get them out and that was completed however, the owner does not have the money to have the bat droppings cleaned out prior to selling the house.Anyone have an idea what this would cost?

If you don't disclose...don't drop the soap.

@James Vermillion@Brandon TurnerI must say the work done for your properties is truly jaw dropping.

But if you find a place you like at a good price in theory yes a sellers agent may be willing to drop a little of his commission to get a deal done because he would be getting the full 5-6%.

Had to drop my ask price considerably to get my buyer, still made money but only $30k instead of $70k.

First about 50% of students drop out before graduating.

I think once you get over about $350K you need to look a little harder at your absolute profit number.Higher ARV means you need a bigger cushion for overruns and possible price drops (Price drop from $499K to $489K is pretty meaningless, but $179K to $169K gets a lot of notice) so you can't do it for the same number as you would on a sub $200K deal.I like to make 20% profit on ARV, which on this deal would be $100K.

I don't want to drop it on my dad's shoulders and walk away, so I am hoping to find a way to make this a decent investment.
