By the time you factor in longer Dom, higher holding cost, and lower sales price you will end up losing more money.  

She was never late, but the mortgage payment was high for her, so she has now done a modification using the FHA-HAMP program to lower the mortgage payment while she is ramping up income (having been a stay at home mom for the last 15 years).  

Prices are still going up, but at a lower rate.

We don't make the choices, nor should we judge our clients for doing what you feel you want/need in a transaction.

I go with the lower number to stay conservative.  

Given the lower returns per transction, I'm thinking to reach the same level of extra income it would require just as much work to Wholesale in the end.

You can approach a broker and ask them to be a "Transaction Broker" where they represent the best interest if neither the buyer nor the seller but act to complete the transaction.

Feels like a good deal (nice lower income neighborhood, bike paths, parks, 10 minutes from personal residence ) but the AC and roof may not have too much life left.Based on my analysis, I think the FMV for a 2/1 like this is closer to 35k.Inspection in a couple days - planning on asking for $3-5k back at closing to a) mitigate risk of roof/hvac replacement and b) bring purchase price closer to FMV.Is a deal like this worth walking away from if I don't get a concession post-inspection?

For instance disabled, or over 65 or homestead exemptions can significantly lower the property taxes until you buy the house as an investor and everything is reassessed.
