Sorry I don't accept partial payments.

As investors get older they tend to want more security and will accept less return for it.For example if someone is worth 15 million and 10 million gets 15% coc that is 1,500,000 annually pre-tax.

Then of course, there's the issue of the value the bank will accept. 

After a couple of weeks of negotiation and getting her to accept the poor condition of the home we settled on a price of $39500 cash to her.  

If he's motivated, he may be willing to accept less.If I lease option it from him, I can't sell with seller financing which is my preferred out in this case because I'll be able to get more up front.

I was a little concerned if they'll accept the offer cause I really liked the property.

On the bright side, they still get the job done at an acceptable level (for me at least). 

Well, I guess this becomes a spam if unsolicited; had he sent you a coleague request and you accepted before he sent the invite, I suppose it would have been different.The moderators may be in a better position to confirm this....

They know the number of landlords in those areas willing to accept Sec 8 is limited.  

So I put a outrages offer of 10K not really thinking I would get the house, two days later the bank accepted the offer and I got stuck with the home. lol  The roof, porch, siding, and interior had to get gutted, at this point still getting worked on..
