He might pipe in on this thread and give you the next meeting's info.

This honesty has worked for me in the past but I'm sure there are many ways to counter a seller thinking you have suspicious motives.

House has new AC, and new windows, with a fairly new roof.Numbers:Purchase price(after 4 counter offers) $54,000.00(with a 1 year home warranty, and $2,000.00 of seller paid closing costs).  

Back then, I was really young, I had no money and I had practically no credit so at that time, owning a beach place was really just a pipe dream.I found BP more by accident than by anything.

The seller gave us a counter offer.

There are 3 different type of pipe, pvc, cement and clay.

The subfloor was rotten all around the toilet and it was held up by the pipe!  

The kitchen has medium colored wood cabinets with brass hardware and green laminate counter tops.

Part of it was the galvanized piping.  

That price included pumping, chemically treating, and ultimately collapsing the septic tank, directional boring 3/4 of the way around the house (.39 acre lot), two cleanouts installed, and he even removed a damaged cast iron stack pipe which had cracked in my foundation and updated it to PVC at no charge.I gave the overpriced $4,000 water equipment to a friend who had suffered from hard water and haven't had an issue with my new city water/sewer setup yet.Contact me if you'd like to chat further.
