do you think the prospect of a couple years free squatting rent changes things? I wonder on the house we were negotiating for recently and were only $9,000 apart, if the selelr was thinking, hell, if I cannot get out of this with my $10 or 20k or whatever in equity (which i estimated he had) then maybe I the seller should just say screw it, take the credit hit and just squat. I bet when the sale is close to break even, it’s got to be at minimum a fleeting thought if not a major consideration. My wife says I’m crazy for thinking this way…but…who not price it high — and either make your money thru a lucky sale or in the alternative a sad aquat.
