The relationship is a long road filled with opportunities for them to milk owners on every repair call and every make-ready, all the way to the end of the road when you decide to fire them.

I told him I can do the deal at 151,000 and no points on the loan.. too me he’s seems like he’s trying to milk the deal for all he can..

I have a suspicion these posts saying to go for it and this will blow over are going to age like milk.

Dispite the fact that Security Bars are on every door and window, they put the little kids through the milk shuts and then the little rascals open up the door from inside.Question: Is there a cost to remove the appliances?

This is a common scenario where landlords milk the property and don't put anything back into it, then it's run down and has a lower value but if they've owned it long enough, it may not matter to them.Just keep looking, the whole area is full of houses I'm sure...As far as your offer being denied, don't worry about it, happens all the time.

@Lawrence Eddy, I know it wasn't your question, but as Alex suggests, your best strategy might be to milk this rental for as long as you can and use the savings you have to purchase something that will cash-flow sooner.

Our bank didn't want to touch it, and who could blame them when they are milking that interest rate.

I also think many buildings I view are super outdated and I view the landlords as just milking the buildings and not putting money back into them so I view it as buying someone's else problem.

I for one don't have the time or patience to worry about if they're milking the clock (although I pay hourly for most maintenance).

That is like saying because you can flip pancakes you can milk a cow.
