Seeing price reductions of $100K+ doesn't prove anything.

And since I often have more than one home in a neighborhood I view it more as investing in the possible reduction in crime due to a squad car being parked in the neighborhood.  

But honestly, I dont really put too much weight on that decision.

Personal property is depreciation over a much shorter useful life than real property, therefore the reclassification can result in a significant reduction in taxes paid.

However, a 10-15% reduction in down payment for investment property can be a jumpstart to get you in.

WHAT WE SEE MORE OF IS BUYERS CHOOSING A LENDER THAT WILL GIVE A CURRENT RATE, GET A BIGGER PRICE REDUCTION OR CLOSING COST CREDIT AND THEN HAVE THE LENDER DO A NO COST REFI LATER IF RATES COME DOWN.

They are more of a summer weight quilt so we do provide extra blankets for the winter, but no complaints. https://www.costco.com/reversi...They are online for $5 more delivered from Costco.com.

The purpose of a spreadsheet would be to organize notes from folks in the market to justify future price reductions or improvements on the property.- Create an "Under Contract" campaign.

With some caveats; I've seen a several local Realtors still putting more weight on an all cash offer than a financed offer, and pushing it onto their clients.

@John Matthew Johnston just curious, where are you seeing the 15-20% ARV reduction?
