Just curious: How did you arrive at $285k for your offer? 

The cops were called, the strangers were already gone upon me and the cops arrivals.

@Jermyn Brown  Ask how they arrived at that number and what comps they used. 

I am totally going from memory here, but I seem to remember my attorney saying the "partial payment" SNAFU comes into play if you accept any payment after she is given a rent demand but before she is served with a petition.  

I understand that they assess properties once every 4 years in my area, is there a way for me to petition based on the new sales price to have a reduction in taxes?

I need a little help as I'm trying to crunch numbers on different properties and arrive at a number that that I should offer using the 2% rule......well kind of.  

Between that unit being rented and reduction in expenses, is how they're arriving at their cap. 

For beginning of month, why wait, petitions are filed daily, or again when an action needs to taken.

There is not enough information.Is there $200,000 equity in a $200,000 property, how do you arrive at your operating costs, is $2500 a arbitrary number or is that a fair market rent.

When did they first arrive?
