and on and on and on it goes.. this business has far more up front risk than buying a standing building were it does not move...

So I am at a stand still.

@Koob Moua your contract sounds contradictory so you can try, but if they refuse you really dont have anything to stand on.

We got the inspection back today; the issues are as follows: mold beyond the surface mold we originally noticed when checking the house out, wood rot in left side floor, damaged roof joist, poor ventilation in the attic and mold, many of the chimney bricks are loose, standing water in crawlspace--potential mold, leaking shower and toilet leading to damaged floor/ceiling underneath, plumbing material issues, electrical not all properly grounded. 

As it stands now, the item gets purchased, then emailed to me, then I enter, then I pay.

Lastly where Real Estate was the headline the last couple of years we are now a footnote with merely a couple of paragraphs In the end I stand by my post from early in the week, high priced markets are going to struggle with slow listing growth and buyers revolt making Supply of inventory shoot past 5 months very quickly. 

@Irina Shetty One thing that stands out to me is the Electrical.

Lender does not keep approved agents long and constantly flush out those who even in good standing.  

If the mechanicals of the home (plumbing, electrical, roof, and HVAC) are all centralized to a single unit, I think your home inspector stands a much better chance of spotting an issue as opposed to a multi-unit with multiple independent systems that may or may not be accessible due to tenants.As for closing costs, try to push the closing date until you have the funds available?

As it stands now I don’t know who would buy this for more than 20-30k.
