Time will erase the title defects.    

Certainly things can arise such as title defects, POA paperwork, deed delays, etc. but the overwhelming majority of foreclosure closings that we hold do not result in delays due to the seller-side.

This is what underwriting sent me:I think that the foreclosure was probably defective.

It is a short sale which you are buying it as is from the bank with all flaws and defects.

This is a construction defect if siphoning is happening. 

That said, if your seller or you as a buyer also put “as is” in the contract, that generally means “I don’t want to do any repairs” or “I won’t ask for any repairs.”Important to note here: Stating “as is” at any point does not eliminate the need for disclosure.If a seller willfully hid material defects from a buyer, that is illegal.

Hi Lance, Many of the issues discovered by an inspection are going to be material defects and your state law probably requires you to disclose it to future buyers.

My thought is that the siding is defective.

CA considers deaths that need to be disclosed as defects to the properties.

In all three, when the deals failed after defects were found that the seller was unwilling to pay for, the seller kept asking me why he didn't get to keep the earnest money even though I explained it AND it was in the contract.
