Sometimes you will be lucky enough to speak with a knowledgable Special Assets Officer that actually has the authority to negotiate a discount, but those are few and far between.

I.e. this is a fluke asset, if they hold 20 offices, don't cleave one office off unless you can show why they should think it doesn't fit their model.also, be wary of contact via PM, they often are at odds with changing ownership since its likely they lose management fees if it sells.

Hello All, I know there is a lot of talk about "The Home Office Tax Write Off".

Big screen TV with some kind of streaming service (there's no TV currently in the house)My friend lives in a town where things like grocery stores and Office Max stores (where travelers could print/copy documents) are 10 minutes away maximum. 

The moral police are always out here giving advice do they can pay themselves on the back without knowing all the details of each unique situation.

@Alan McClainOn our larger properties we will speak with the management company weekly, on smaller properties I will keep in contact with the manager's office via email and get on a call if there is a major issue (1-3 times per year).

My question is: when there is such a dramatic difference in what it’s worth in the tax assessor office and asking price, which would you offer?

The problem with the paralegal offices or document production companies is they typically don't know all the questions to ask and the client certainly doesn't know in most cases.

@Joseph Vu unless you need to refinance or sell you don't need it assessed you could raise the rent now if you so choose, the market will be the judge of whether you raise it too much or not, there is no valuation police. 

So I've had success calling the local assessor's office and getting lists based on zoning.
