But another consideration is what happens if one or more of you leave the US and are no longer US residents.

If that stops, you can tell the upstairs people, since it is stopped, please be extra considerate of the downstairs people, and they probably will.

I've seen a property appraisal; in early April 2020, at around 900K less than 8 months ago, and the Appraisor specifically mentioned Covid-19, yada yada.If the property is worth what the Seller thinks it is during this point in time (and taking a future recovery or furthur softening of prices into consideration), Seller shouldn't budge from the price he/she thinks is fair.

You're assuming price is the primary consideration of this seller.

It is still a sale for a consideration, the secured note being consideration.

If the ibuyers don't work out you may be able to get considerably more money by listing on the MLS

Your bid should be based on a projected return which takes into consideration expenditures.

Hello, I am interested to know how much consideration is put on how many times a property has changed owners and if it matters much to you if current owners are also using property as a rental? 

I do believe in trying to use Veteran discounts but I would not focus on that in every deal.The highest and best usage should be one of your top considerations. 

@Chen Lerner, Hi Chen, I will be happy to contact and have a talk, PM me and I will be happy to share my considerations and talk on some options.Ilan
