At that time, the price of the property was reduced to reflect the value.

I'm considering accepting a reduced rent and not enforcing the lease in exchange for assistance in getting the property ready for sale (basic touch ups, paint, small repairs, etc.), always having the property ready for a potential buyer to visit, and moving out as soon as the property is sold.

If you go directly t the seller's (listing) agent, they might reduce, not split, their commission, but they do not represent you.

From the studies that I've done since investors are such a big part of the market, shutting them out has reduced prices in those HOAs by as much as 20%.

Paying the 25k back reduced the $4k.

Wayne- it wouldn't surprise meI definitely should have been more proactive instead of waiting 24 hours for my realtor to handle it.

We become proactive , fix it all , its easier to do on an empty dwelling than one full of furniture .

Properties can sit vacant unrented for extended periods, and not only requiring the PMs to offer free rent periods and reduced rent but worse still your property could then be vulnerable to theft which unfortunately happens a lot.

We can often reduce our cost by switching carriers every year or two.

I don't know will this really reduce the possibility like 2007 but too much trouble for the buyer.
