Whenever we've made exceptions and approved ppl with lower credit with an extra security deposit (or two), problems have been more likely to arise. 

At times even lower level  -aka  town may have its own rules.

Hello,I am interested in buying an off market property in my area, and am wondering how to structure several offers as I know the seller is open to cash, owner-financing (as long as it has a short term), or regular mortgage type close.My target price is $265k, which I believe is more than fair as I purchased a property in the same area at a lower valuation some time back.I was thinking of offering $260k cash.

The fees were lowered to $500/month.

Or was there a point where you would feel a lower offer would get you the numbers you're looking for?

We realized we were dealing with a serial scammer when the tenant first asked for $85,000 in damages, and kept lowering the amount, until she got to $500 and said, "everyone gives something!"

It sat for several weeks and I did have to lower the list price once, but it’s no longer vacant!

Are you wanting low-risk with lower returns or the opposite?

Rent for 750 and up.Apartments in Memphis can be tough as a lot of it is in lower quality areas.

The decision to move to a lower priced market was partially based on the realization that starting a family and building a stronger financial and investing base from which to grow will be easier to do in a market like Sacramento, as opposed to Orange County, especially at that point in the market cycle.
