No too much you can do to lower the down payment, what you'll have to do is figure out how to get the money.

Hey I see...so I'm trying to get my assessed property tax lower because the bank loaned extra for the property because we put a lot for a downpayment on a 1031 exchangeWhat's the best way to minimize my property taxes?

Their rates were lower than the ones MVB quoted me.

Quick question- you mentioned the purchase price but not the value when it was converted to a rental- It should be the lower of the two used for depreciation purposes.

The price I mentioned to him would waive the buyer/seller agent fee, but it is still much lower than others that I saw popping up recently after agent fees.

I was also thinking of paying lower rates, but paying a percentage of profit on the refi. 

Can I draft a new offer to purchase at a lower price than the numbers he just gave me? 

However, i am curious on your thoughts on whether or not to pull the Max out 85% vs a lower amount.  

As you get more experience, they see you paying your loans off on time or early and youre making good returns they will lower your rates. 

When it comes to valuing the below-grade vs above grade square footage the appraiser gives the basement a lower price per square foot.
