Set your walk-away price

Fictional practice: Change the price. Don’t bend the facts.

• At $285,000: about $52.92 a month left over.
• At $270,000: $127.76 a month. At $260,000: $177.66 a month.
• The rent and running costs stay the same. The loan is still 75% of the price, so a lower price means a smaller loan payment. The investor’s goal is $150 a month.

Your real contract and the law decide the conditions that let you back out (contingencies), deposits, notices and your right to cancel. This practice isn’t an offer form.
