The only real difficulty in my experience is the first time you build them because of instructions take longer amount of time, however the second time you will notice a huge reduction in time used to build them.I also screw all the cabinets together and the plywood down to increase strength.I also find them stronger and reasonably priced to the Chinese manufactured cabinets that i used in flips.

Thank you Pros.PS- I heard that there are fat margins on windows so maybe a motivated supplier on a diet will sell them cheaper?

But isn't it a part of some short sales packets to show that the house needs some repairs in order to justify a reduction in price?

Having a non cash flowing house  with a heloc on it is like marrying a big fat Chic with long blonde hair .

And there might be a price reduction if the work is expensive.

Because of my homework I know that they wont close at the end of the month because if they want to apply for violation fees reduction, the Board meets only once a month, and they missed the deadline.

The good news is that I am still in my due diligence period so my first step is to negotiate a drastic reduction in price. 

Don't give up a 4 plex,improve the situation.Improve the property and get better tenants for higher rents.Work the problem,you will regret giving someone else your profits after you sell it.Agents will tell you anything to get you to sell and give them fat commission checks so get honest opinions from people who get no profits from your property.

If I use interest to make up in the long run for home price reduction, I'd be offering something like 4.5 - 5 %  -- Is this too high for investors? 

Typical Milwaukee 4plex mechanicals, furnaces and water heaters centrally located in the basement.I would not be doing them myself, those days are behind this fat old Sicilian ... ;-)
