There is no garage; there's simply a small shed on either side of the Duplex in the back yard.

Please weight in!

Jon, thanks for shedding more light on the reality of this one.

If yours was the only offer (in many weeks, and the seller's attorney tries to throw some weight around, tell the seller that the attorney's requirements are unacceptable and if the seller and lawyer persist, you walk away.

If I was closer to 20k I could throw my weight around a bit more (and once I get a bit of experience, I'll be more inclined to.)

I weighted the outcomes for the possible pro that he was; didn’t responded to my 3 day notice (acted like as if he'd never gotten one ever since I'd handed to him); he could have dragged the eviction for up to 5 months long rent free by utilized the corrupted legal system (at lease it’s for my case) like I’d read it somewhere (there‘re actually courses out there to walk them through; step by step; days that involved with the court system), in addition to the possible property damages before he finally moves out if he felt like it and the way he’d lived my house that was worse than those homeless who are by the corner of 6th and Maple in Downtown L.

These folks usually get all excited about sbu2's and other "creative practices, many being shady at best and some out right illegal.I am usually fairly private but recently I have shed some light into my experience as well as finances over the last several years.My experience is that I made over a million in RE in the last 8 years and thats chump change by my demographics and standards.I ended up buying properties at 50-60% of FMV and these properties tripled in value over a 5 year period.

The dirts still important in my mind & an appraisal based on the income approach should bear weight.

I have to get rid of a storage shed as well.The market value of the houses around it range from 34K-47KWhat should I do next?
