I assume there was no way to get any kind of reduction from the seller to make the deal worthwhile?  

but every time i dig into a deal like this, i find out that the list price was preposterous, and so of course the sold price was a big reduction. and so of course it might have been a good deal.not trying to be argumentative - genuinely trying to learn and see what other folks are experiencing in higher cost markets

If you are planning to buy in an established development that has recent sales, financing & appraisal problems shouldn't be a factor....leaving little reason for the Seller to make a drastic price reduction for an all cash offer.

You are probably looking at a building ready to collapse under it's own weight.

As for the comment on requesting a reduction/concessions, if you are already under contract you have nothing to lose to ask all they can say is no.

@Ashish Acharya @Natalie Kolodij if we cash out refi properties held in a multi-member LLC with a commercial loan, do we have to invest the funds under LLC vesting to deduct interest expenses, or by fact that the loan is under the LLC does it automatically qualify for expense reduction?

As a property manager and a dog owner, I know from experience that most damage that an animal does to a property is due to irresponsible behavior of the owner, and has very little to do with breed or weight.

It's like a diet's that say eat all you want and lose weight,that's what we want,but I doubt that is likely to be the outcome.

I Review what other properties simular to mine are actually paying and argue that if all these similar properties are paying less then I should be too.I have always got a tax reduction.
