Thomas, those fair market rents seem high here, they must be with everything included?? It doesn't say....

If I can lower it by 5% for managing it myself, can I further reduce it for doing all repairs myself?

"one boiler for the complex and gas heaters in each apt unit..."

I don't understand that, but the way to go would be to install a Rinai heater in each unit . I have a few and they are low maint and efficient. Assuming the gas co will give you 17 meters...

Well, another deadline come and gone, I called the listing Realtor twice today, he said he was working on it. I can't see in the addendum that I can't walk, and a paragraph says either party is limited to $1K loss if the other fails to proceed to settlement. Why don't I deserve it now??

I put a Freddie Mac/ Homesteps house under contract on Feb 4th, listed at 24,900 and after very slow negotiations I got a contract for just under 22K. before closing time came they canceled the contract, saying I was late, I had to start over. To speed things up I offered the asking price. I was supposed to close March 28th, now the new deadline is tomorrow April 11. I haven't heard a thing yet. I plan to walk if not done tomorrow, has anyone else had slowness problems with Home Steps?
