    Well, selling to someone who needs it would be best in my book but yea… You staying the owner is a billion times better than some company or land developer buying it… You’re right, no hard feelings

        What? I said

        selling to someone who needs it

        As in someone that needs it to live in it

            Huh? I don’t follow

            I said him owning it is better than a laege company owning it

            I mean isn’t that better??? You can reason with a guy, given that he’s reasonable, but you have no chance with a company. And his price is probably lower than that of a company looking to maximise profits with constant market data available to them

              I said him owning it is better than a laege company owning it

              And I asked you why, at which point you claimed you didn’t say that.

              You can reason with a guy, given that he’s reasonable, but you have no chance with a company.

              I see no reason to think you have any better chance reasoning with this guy.

              And his price is probably lower than that of a company

              I see zero reason to believe he’s renting for below market rate. Individual owners don’t general charge lower rent than companies, so your assertion that he “probably” does is completely baseless.

                Look man I really don’t have anything againsnt what you’re saying, we’re both arguing for assumptions here, there’s no point

                But I guess I’ll ask this, to get to more practical things: what do you think he should do?

                I think the best thing he could do is sell to someone that needs the property to live in it. But I won’t hold it against him if he chooses to keep and rent out the property unless it’s solely for profits. Keeping a property for a while to make sure you won’t need it before selling it, is fine in my head.
