Roger Fisher, one of the founding authors of the negotiation field.

Also, great resources from the Program on Negotiations from Harvard: 

Good luck,

Yes... @Mike Hurney and @Russell Chin this is the main drawback... There are, however, plenty of parking on adjacent street.

Still debating if I should take the plunge on this one of not...

@Aaron Montague and @Russell Chingot those units figures mixed up:

Unit 1: 4 bed / 1.5 bath very spacious and de-leaded. Rents between 1600-2200 - fair?

Unit 2: 2 bed / 2 bath very spacious. Rents between 1200-1500 - fair?

Great discussion folks!!!

@Jon Holdman great explanation, thank you sir!

@Angie C. I am on the same boat and wondering what others will say...

I believe the million dollar question is how to get into those A-lists, inner circles, and ultimately having access to these pocket deals...

Thoughts?!?!?

@Russell Chin  and @Aaron Montague , here are the #'s:

Motivated seller will list house for 377.5K

Plan to offer $350K

Taxes @ 4800

Insurance @2000

2 unit on the bus line in Houghs Neck - easy 10 min ride to Quincy Center.

Unit 1: 2 bed / 2 bath very spacious. Rents between 1600-2200 - fair?

Unit 2: 4 bed / 1.5 bath de-leaded. Rents between 1200-1500 - fair?

Both units are in decent shape, nothing fancy and wall-to-wall carpet plus dated yet decent shape kitchens. Huge fenced-in backyard.

Oppt: work with city to change this back to a 3 family since it sits on major road and there are some opportunities for a commercial room, or another studio.

Drawbacks: only one car parking/driveway. Major road, not very convenient for families with kids.

I do welcome your comments folks!

Hello @Russell Chin 

Thanks for your quick reply... The property is located in Houghs Neck. A block away (few steps) from the beach...

Thanks!

@Dave Antonelli I am not sure how ND laws are for tenants, but here in Massachusetts, it's not uncommon for landlords to pay / help tenants to leave and move out.

Personally, I wouldn't like to spend a day in court (I do have another full time job), much less have to deal with someone waiting for a court date for 3-6 months without paying monthly rent. 

At the end of the day, if you pay them to go, you will be better off in my opinion.

Good luck whichever way you decide to go!
