Did you ask for specifics on what the disqualifying observations were, so that you can take that into account for future offers?

Interesting observation..Eight of us were working on the intensive drive control commissioning of a large complex & the all knowing management decided to create an office for each engineer. 

@Andrew WorkmanFirst, understand that I'm not passing judgment...I'm simply stating my observations based only on your post.

There has to be a balance.The visual impact of that roof can be an issue, but that isn't something that pops up overnight, you can observe the condition over time and estimate replacement.  

I was floored at the time...I'm an east coaster, so basically observing HI, but was out there in July and was amazed at what prices were with so much undeveloped land.  

My best advice is to visit the courthouse sale and observe.

I appreciate your observation.@Ned

Thank you for the input, I plan to attend the auction just as an observer to see what goes on and possibly do some networking while I am there.

A wiseman became wise by listening, reading, and observing.  

Having been thru a number of real estate cycles since starting in the late 70's (and as an observer before that) I remain fascinated at how quickly people forget.
