Be careful to not concede to all the desires of the investor base and not be able to keep you lights on and operate.

John,I'll concede that you have absolutely nothing to do but post all day and all night long.

Limited Land Trend: I concede I can't argue this point but I see alot of undeveloped brown stuff that goes on for miles when I fly into Vegas.

Owner's relative lived next door and conceded to letting him build his fence 4 feet wide (90ft deep) onto their (her-his daughter's)property line for RV maneuvering.

If your qualified funds have already been taxed, that's a different story.Yes, the 10% penalty is a PITA, but I'll concede it might be worth it.I do think you should contribute up to the company match in your 401-K, it's hard to imagine that being a bad move, even if all your investment choices stink (just leave it in a Stable Value fund).Probably a hell of a lot more advice in this thread than you asked for!

No but conceded on the last one, a SFH rental to a Military officer.$500 non refundable & they insisted on a 4 years lease with pre-determined p.a.

good luck*edit* also, you may want to offer them 80 on the first round, so that there is room to negotiate up to 87,900 as Jon outlined for you... everyone always want to feel like negotiating is some big compromise and that both sides gave something. others may disagree with this, but it's just my personal opinion.as a digression, while working at a law firm I once saw a case where the opposing client had nothing and I mean NOTHING going for him but was trying to settle. so the lawyers came up with a figure and he suggested a lower amount, to which they of course said no. it turned into a huge argument and all he kept saying was that "in the spirit of negotiation" they should come down a little so that both parties would have conceded something.

Both said it'd be over $25k to get this fixed up, and the seller only was willing to concede $5k.

But that doesn't really help you since I believe the owner conceded the fact that the underlying contract was an Installment Land Contract. 

My fear is that quality deals and projects will never make it to the capital market place, as the market will forever be in the hands of private marketers and private hands as it too rich a pipeline to concede to the open.
