I currently live for free and have minimal bills.

I will likely still get the deal, but will probably have to pay more and negotiate more to keep it comfortable and profitable.Should I have done something different before sitting down to avoid this delay and potential loss of the deal if it appraised for a lot more?  

My ideal type of property purchases will be multifamily and I want to start out with at least a duplex and hopefully scale up to apartments to minimize costs.

Most accountants play not to loss and don't play to win. 

However it doesn't mean it's a loss cause.

I decided to give them 4 options:Option 1: I give you a discounted rent of $750 for the month of February to assist with compensating for your loss.

If you are looking for properties with minimal repairs needed you will want to look in the NW, NC, and NE parts of town, typically outside of Loop 410.

I made a mistake and need to recover my losses.

And there are clearly carrying costs (insurance and RET), but those will be minimal for a couple weeks of sitting.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but...Whether the property has one, two, or ten liens does not affect whether there is a gain or loss when the property is sold.
