I’d highly recommend having a CPA handle it upfront — especially when 1031s and depreciation are involved — so you can avoid those unnecessary headaches and expenses later on.

Hey everyone -- my name is Colin and I am looking to get back into RE investing.  For background, I used to wholesale contracts about 12 years ago in Dallas.  Combo of driving for dollars, distressed listings that wer...

I would definitely get a commercial real estate agent involved and not negotiate directly with their corporate attorneys.

If you had better than house odds at being made whole, it might make sense but there's just no upside here.

Odd.

It's odd though - stock market is continually hitting ATHs this year - yet the fear and greed index shows "fear".

Most investors focus on “price,” but smart investors focus on structure.A $10,000 discount looks nice on paper—but the impact on your monthly cash flow, debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), and approval odds can be underwhelming compared to the same amount in seller credits.Here’s why:A $10k price reduction might save you around $60 per month on a standard 30-year fixed loan.A $10k seller credit, used to buy down your rate, could reduce your payment by $140 per month or more.That’s more than double the savings—and it improves your property’s DSCR, which can be the difference between getting approved or not.In a world where every fraction of a percent matters, understanding how to allocate negotiation dollars is a hidden superpower.

I do have an attorney involved but with all of the past due payments and attorney fees it is putting a strain on me as we haven't been doing real estate for a long time. 1.

Oddly, currently for sale listings seem to be stuck on referencing 2024 revenues.  2025 is about over - why not reference this year?
