There's a certain comfort with local people who are well woven into the fabric of my neighborhood.

Anyone have a contact for a company that will fabricate the steel braces needed in foundation repair?  

No one is going to bother calculating that for you, so you are asking them to fabricate some kind of answer. 

Can anyone recommend a reliable company in Philadelphia who fabricates and installs custom iron railings?

You can judge & critique the price of the property all day by what the seller asking price is, but real deals are made all day by consistently making offers and through delicate negotiations.

@Fabrice Eliacin I analyze deals I see on loopnet and make offers even though I don't think I'll get it.

@Fabrice Eliacin, www.homepath.com is another site to check out.  

Get ARMED with information and under no circumstances, get into an argument or verbal-shouting match (I know it's tempting) with them as they can become emotional and you have to walk a very DELICATE line when dealing with problem tenants like this.I'm NOT providing legal advice: but if you have a lease (contract law) and they are in default, it doesn't take a genius to decipher who is in the wrong.

Sounds like he was trying to divert attention away from the fact that he fabricated those other offers.
