Sometimes they can be swayed by how it is recorded in public records.  

I hear Queen Center Mall looks practically like -and better than- Manhattan mall these days.I'd do phone interviews then meet at a public place ie Starbucks in Forest Hills unless my office were available already.For properties to invest in, I'd probably work with an investor-friendly broker who I'd legally be able to pay a commission per deal found and closed on.

With that said- flooring is one, kit. cabinets and countertops is another and Lighting is the third.I budget 5bucks a sf labor and mat for flooring- I hardwood all public areas (LR DR hall) ant tile wet - (kit & Ba) carpet the bedrooms at $12sy.

-how do you recommend I enforce the usage of a Public Utility?

(Negotiable based on borrower experience)- Execute Joint Venture Agreement- Profit will be split based on deal and level of experience of borrower- Agreement term is for 6 months, after which, borrower profit split is reduced to 50% and I assume management of the project.Does this sound reasonable?

I am asking the seller for credit towards anything safety, structural, or code related so I am only asking for 4000 of that and him to reduce sale price to 91000.

It will record a judgement on his public records.
