I am looking at C level properties and getting all over the map - from 7k to 18.

It is rare I will ever go lower on an occupied house.

So while it might need x/y/z you'll need to offer a lower price to cover the cost rather than trying to get the same price on the condition they fix the roof or plumbing.

I am looking at split levels in Chicago, but also Skokie, Morton Grove and the close burbs of the city. 

The benefit you get from manufactured homes, at least in our experience, is a lower price compared to stick built with almost identical rents as stick built.

I am a licensed Realtor, so I am planning on NOT taking a commission and have them lower the purchase price but what other strategies have you guys used in order to buy in this hot Colorado market with a FHA loan and only putting down 3.5%?

I did several stagings already, but would like to put it into industrial level. do you think there are many people looking for this kind of service?

Convienant access to major job centers and a much lower price point than suburbs directly to the south make it very attractive to renters and great for cash flow. 

I do however want to express the high level of importance of knowing the crux of the information behind a project which I will touch on shortly.

Or negotiate a lower price based on the feedback from the inspector.
