My Real Estate Negotiation->Opinion Needed!!!

MoreCowbell · 02-27-2007, 05:26 PM

Yes.

It sucks because I really love the place, but I am only willing to pay what I feel it is worth.

It is NOT worth 1.245.

This is kinda crazy. Im looking to buy my first place this year, but im only looking to spend like 250,000. TOPS. How much do you pay for rent where you live now? and what do you do for work

Good luck on your search. I'm really impressed by the amount of money some of you guys must make! For anyone going into medicine, do NOT do pediatrics! I can just afford my 250K house and my E90. I need to change career....

I am 31, my wife is 27. I am self-employed, working on Software implementations for Banks. My wife is in Originations a major Real Estate Investment firm.

We pay $2950 now for rent, but its moving up to $3300 in June. I've rented for the last nine years and i'm sick of it.

You career is also far more noble and useful to society then what my wife and I do. You should be proud of yourself.

Thanks, I have to admit, I enjoy working with the kids and it's great when you can make them better

I don't enjoy my work. It's all trade-offs.

I would think the London property would have given you a nice start on the property ladder. When my parent's moved over here from London they were able to pay cash for their house on the proceeds of their London townhouse sale.

Well gluck75, if the markets go South some more, you may be able to offer same price in a few weeks and make a deal

Guga79 · 02-27-2007, 11:30 PM

I cannot believe he declined your offer. But you will get something better
