tommy,

When buying any property, the best source of information to base your offer price on, is the comparables for recently sold similar homes. Since banks use this information to base their decisions, it would be beneficial as a buyer, to access it as well.

As a basic rule....the further your offer is from the bank's "asking price" the smaller the chance of having your offer accepted. Unfortunately, many buyers of these properties make an initial offer, expecting to be able to make a counter offer and are disappointed when they are not extended this opportunity.

With this said, if you are serious about a specific property, it may be beneficial to think about an offer that is "higher not lower."

A real estate professional will be able to support you with this initiative.

Best wishes,

Gerlie,

Sometimes the best resource for accurate information about specific programs comes directly from the source. Our recommendation is to contact the Flora Ridge School directly......

The noise level and additional traffic may be acceptable for your personal and family needs however, this arrangement may seriously narrow the pool of future buyers. - A few minutes ago

Glo,

In your case it may be beneficial to seek the best of both worlds.............. renting a home that you are trying to sell isn't normally advisable. However, in some cases sellers have found the perfect tenant. One that knows the home is for sale, one that doesn't mind keeping it presentable for showings, one that doesn't mind an occasional inconvenience etc.

In return for their kind understanding an willingness to work with you as the owner, it may be beneficial to offer them a rental discount. Sometimes the best individuals to deal with in this type of arrangement are personal acquaintances.
