Luckily, I don't think she'll see too much of a downgrade in "lifestyle" as her home was pretty modest. 

Thank you Brandon for being a tremendous source for real estate and lifestyle wisdom!

Ralph, you beat me to it.  6 months' inventory is normally considered the equilibrium. 

Is it this normal?

In a normal negotiation it is common for splitting the difference back and fourth. 

I think I might have a few people in that post-bidding price range, I'll let their Realtors know if it comes up" is broadly accepted as normal activity (I'm not commenting on what SHOULD be, merely on what IS) unless some sort of confidentiality is specifically requested. 

Tell me what the normal open rate is.All accross the board people talk about 0.5% open rate.

For that reason, I decided to not offer a credit towards a future stay, which I would normally do.

I'd get in touch with the adult tenant, reference the video, and ask if a window had been broken.Arrange for the repair however you normally do. 

I think it  would be worth the effort to 'transfer' that 100K out of that SDRIA into say just a normal IRA in your own name.
