This is not a process that I like to use but it is necessary in some situations where there are a lot of repairs or there are discoveries that were not disclosed initially.

I initially wanted to request about $36k in repairs, but my agents (sadly I went with a newbie and she has two "mentors" helping her) suggested this was too much and could jeopardize the contract (this was before discovery of the liens).

Tenant agrees to pay for repairs of all damages that they or their guests have caused.Landlord agrees to initiate repairs in a timely manner following discovery of the damage or can choose to defer repair until Tenant has vacated the premises.

Each time I would confront him about it, I received the same excuse “Im working it”, “Don’t worry about it”, “My guys are on it”… Then there was the discovery that I was being charged $300/board to hand drywall!

What you have to watch out for as well is neighboring properties.If contaminants have leaked onto your property you are buying good luck trying to get the responsible owners to fix.Many times it's a vacant gas station or other business facility that is now gone.All things you have to closely look at before proceeding.Unless you are making a huge potential return you might want to pass on this one.Tell the seller "my offer price was based on XX" with the discovery of the tank and cleanup my new offer is XX.Reduce price in highest estimated cleanup "worst case scenario" so if it's not as bad you benefit.

Hi Carol,Please keep us posted on your journey so we can celebrate your discoveries!

I saw a show on discovery about building these palm shaped islands with million dollar homes.

Among them being;A) Their client is not interested in the costs of litigation.B) They have informed their client that negotiation is a better strategy in this particular case.C) They have not receive any word from their client on the course of litigation and are choosing not to proceed.D) They are performing informal discovery to determine how best to make your day miserable.etc.I am glad that you have not faced court room calamity yet, but I can assure you that some of the activities you propose could easily land someone in my jurisdiction into very hot water.

I want to be sure your name is included in my complaint, and you may as well state the name of the person who called you, because it will come out in discovery...have a nice day."
