I am not sure how you came up with your descriptions of my comments to you as they were defensive and not offensive, however if my comments to you felt bullyish, than I apologize.  

The agent that wrote the description clearly embraced this fact.

The apartment is in a good area of Chicago.I've gotten nothing but awful applicants despite being very clear in the description of the property that I'm going to be doing a background check and not accepting tenants with prior evictions or bad credit. 

Based on your description (basement walls collapsing inward), only the foundation would worry me.

From your description it sounds like the neighbor is a bully. 

I have yet to see a contract for sale that does not include a description of the property IE  3bd 3 ba  new roof old roof  peice of junk  great house etc.. at that point your advertising real property but dont take my word for it.. like I said if you really want to know talk to the state NO ONE ELSE as they are the ones that make the rules and enforce them.. 

I am waiting to hear back from the seller but the only info right now is 2 pictures of the exterior and a description that it is "dated". 

Others in the same complex are all 2/2, but those descriptions range from 2/2 up to 3/3-all of the units are the same.

I was wondering if the posts I make on Facebook groups where I post a picture or 2 of the properties along with the zip code and brief description of them then ask if anyone is interested to drop an email below so I can send them the full info has any luck? 

As Nate mentions, you can call around and ask, but I would have a general description of project AND pictures of current condition.Also, know that unless you have materials selected, you will likely only be able to get a bid for labor.
