That makes perfect sense.

Thank you so much, Chris and Michael! That really helped. I guess what I was searching for was whether or not the price we negotiate with the seller stays at that price though the completion of the deal or if it is reduced as we pay monthly rent. Even if it isn't reduced, at first thought it looks like we could use that to our advantage during the negotiation by pointing out to the seller that they will enjoy a reduced mortgage balance, retained tax benefits, and probably a small monthly cash flow by doing a lease with us. Thanks again! I love this forum!!!

Hi, everyone. I'm brand new here...actually waiting on my naked investor manual to arrive Saturday! I have zero real estate investing experience, but am encouraged by all that I have read in this forum. It's so nice to see so many people sharing their knowledge! Having said that, I hope you will help me with a quick questionthat I have floating around in me noggin. I'm sure it's basic to most, but any help would assist me as I keep on reading. Thanks! I've read a lot of posts about giving rent credits to tenant/buyers. It sounds like a great incentive for the buyer, but do we ever negotiate rent credits on our own behalf with the seller? If we enter an SLO for an extended period of time, asking for a couple hundred a month could end up being several thousand dollars on the back end. It just seems that that would help counter any rent credit that we extend to the tenant/buyer.
