Acquired a double lot for $112k after resolving title issues and paid $360k for construction, creating a 6-bed, 5-bath house designed for co-living or multi-gen use.

I've also had to deal with a couple of appliance issues in a duplex I have where I do supply appliances. 

Title company issues check to seller.

Not reporting payments doesn't hurt you unless you have other credit history issues you are trying to overcome. 4.

Exterior attachments like decks and stairs are always HOA issues so I can't fathom how the driveway is not.

If using a lender this is a non issue.

A purchase agreement is a waste of time and energy and complicates the issue for Harry Homeowner.This is not a beginner strategy as there are federal laws concerning approaching debtors who have been given a notice of foreclosure.

As Jay and Jamie have stated above, a minimum of 6 different factors play into the pricing, but it is not an all or none issue. 

If the seller is trying to avoid legal issues with the city for illegally operating a property I would get out of that.
