I can't even imagine the hell people go through when their house is tied up in a contract by an immoral individual who bullies the seller to concede to his/her terms.

Steve, my thoughts are similar to yours, however, I will likely need to concede 3% to a buyer agent anyway.

Tenants will look for TONS of reason to not have to pay full rent...be careful on what you concede on or it will just reward them and the gates will open.If its a bedroom and the person will be displaced fro a decent amount of time, I would calculate a % of the rent to discount....... 4 bedroom house for $X/month..... that's $Y per bedroom per day and then do the math.

If those are the rules, then those are the rules and I will concede...however, I would have to imagine that a good majority of people perform their renovations directly after acquisition to take advantage of the building being empty and not having to deal with construction in a live/working environment...logical, right...so because I didn't place my newly acquired building in-service prior to demolition/renovations I don't get to claim ~$340K of Partial Disposition deductions??? 

When you join the Amish, I'll concede that you are right.

But it’s conceding for home #3 and on if it’s come to this.Maybe the strategy needs to pivot to a different play for the time being?

If you concede on location, just make sure your screening is tight.

The 2nd argument breaks down very quickly as has been clearly demonstrated.THAT is what O'Donnell was purported to be claiming I guess...and it is idiotic as you have now finally conceded.

A lot of tenants are quick to throw out the "I will have my lawyer review this" statement just to have you concede to their demands. 

The property is listed for $305,000 and he conceded an additional $15k down to $290k without me even saying anything.
