This way the bank gets a higher price than with a cash offer.It all comes down to the strategy of the bank and all of them are different.All you can do is ask the bank.They will very quickly tell you YES OR NO.If it's a maybe or a yes they will tell you under what conditions.I have found the bigger banks want to clean most toxic loans off the books.This makes potential stock purchasers feel better about how many bad loans are still lurking on the books.The goal of bigger banks is to show stronger books so that more stock is purchased in the company to increase the stock price.

In case you have been on the planet Jupiter the last few years, the 50% rule (a rule of thumb or quick analysis tool) states that "operating" expenses will average 50% of the gross market rents.Perhaps it is just a pet peeve, but I want to clarify something here as to eliminate the current and any future confusions.

Agreed that's a good start, but "THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS" of jobs aren't going to solve our economic problems...we need to focus on creating MILLIONS and MILLIONS of jobs...And to do that, we need to be the most innovative country on the planet once again...
