I am willing to pay a little more on a property if I can get favorable financing terms.

Do you favor neighborhoods where flippers have already (or are already) operating?

Like others have said, a good quality tenant is much more favored than renting a place quickly.

I'll do as suggested, keep an eye on the prop and see if the price comes down to a more favorable price.

I also would propose something more equitable if you are putting in more than twice as much as the contractor more like 66/34 in your favor.

It really depends on which year would be more favorable from a tax rate standpoint.

The leaky windows could be doing you a favor by pointing out the humidity problem, so you can investigate and repair it, before you have a hidden mold or rot problem.

It works in my favor in this respect in that house wouldn't sell for this in todays market and works in his favor in that it gets him into a cash producung 2 family as he could not get a conventional loan at this point in time.regards,chris

Financing for the 6 unit at that price is going to be less favorable than it will be for a 4 unit.

If anything you are doing them a favor and cashing out on an asset that they have on the books.
