Bartering

I was just wondering if anyone is doing any bartering in exchange for down payments? Especially with the mobile home tenant buyers. I just got a 2007 ATV with only 107 miles on it. It is worth 250% of the down payment. I also had a nice deck buillt around my house. This would have been 4.5 K in labor easy. I traded that for 2.5K down payment.

It times such as this more people need to learn to barter. I am a rolling pawn broker in many ways. I picked up that skill from working probate.
