This just reinforced my "deposition mode" mentality with tenants. Wow!
Don't say anything extra or not required. Here's your fridge, period.

If your lending money for free let me know. I would love to get in on that action.
Bad idea to try manipulate the price on an owner financed deal IMHO. When a property is appraised it is appraised independently of any financing considerations, even if being bought with cash. Maybe not be likely, but it could potentially come back to bite you later if the buyer gets sideways and talk with a lawyer. I am not a lawyer, nor giving legal advice, but you might be placing a foot into the zone of predatory practices. I would go for the interest personally as I like to put my money to work. To my understanding you still want to follow Dodd/Frank guidelines to be safe as the seller/owner finance in the deal.

Are you sure they did not hook up to the neighbors or something for some cash?
That seems very, very high for June. What will it be in January, $4,000.00? Something is not right here.

IMHO
If it is not paying for a third party service such as an appraisal or an inspection etc., it should be paid for at the closing, period. The deal doesn't close, nothing to be paid for. Your not paying for an application, your paying to close the deal on you funding. I would be inclined to tell them to step off myself.

Of course there is real value in turnkey properties ... for the turnkey provider.
I don't see how it could be anything other than a marginal investment myself. Your not getting the real benefit of buying the property below market value, the turnkey provider is though. Just my opinion.

How frustrating. The app will not allow me to scroll to the end of the thread without crashing before I get there.

Josh, any way there could be a "jump to end of thread" option added? It is especially an issue on these long sustained threads.
Thanks.
