I'd like to firm up on agency financing and am looking for a clear and concise source to learn from.

The amount of weight being hauled off of your property will be at a minimum, cut in half. the demo of the property will take much less time, costing you much less money.

Not acceptable and requires you to be firm and swift with your response.  

You'll probably want to start at a larger institutional level or bulge bracket firm since they have much better training programs and reputations. 

I recently graduated and am now an analyst at a commercial real estate private equity firm that focuses on value-add investments of $1mm-$20mm in southwest markets.

IE cut down and hauled to the mill..  

I have the sellers financial information, rent roll, expenses etc.With this being a new season of investing into apartments for me, I want to make sure $20k non-refundable earnest money from day 1 of the effective date is a wise move.I know as the due diligence process moves forward, the asking price is always negotiable, at the same time, with the seller already showing she's a firm negotiator, I would hate to lose $20k because she don't want to budge on price when the lender and/or bullcrap turns up during due diligence.

I currently manage a commercial real estate valuation firm with a Certified General Appraiser that has over a dozen years of experience doing real estate appraisals in countless cities, spread across numerous industries.

Metrostudy, a research firm that tracks the housing market, said Tampa Bay’s recent job creation should translate into an annual demand for about 5,400 new apartments and 12,600 homes, townhomes and condos.It would be helpful to know what price point you're looking for and the type of property.

Know what you want, know what's right, be fair and firm, not an ***.
