HOA's have been changing their rental term policies with more restrictive language .

Hi Ethan, without knowing the language of your contract it's hard to issue an opinion here.

The lifestyle, language, food, culture, sights, smells were all different.

I would maybe touch base with the listing agent to see if the seller really wants All Cash to close, or just Cash at closing, this is standard language and in most cases is financed.

Quickbooks can take to 100 doors if you have an accounting knowledge, like I said depends on your activities.Even cheap accounting programs can have a manipulated chart of accounts and sub-accounts to produce accurate financial statements in very little time.Accounting is the language of business, if you can't speak accounting then it's like being in France speaking only English. :)     

What kind of language would you use to bring these big, expensive issues up in my letter to seller and explain that because of them my offer will be lower?

But the language he used really set up my model well.  

Seller came back wanting to change the language to say 'the seller will make every attempt to locate and open access to the crawl space.'

Pending your administrator or custodian, they have certain requirements and language they expect to see within Mortgage documents you will need to clarify that before moving forward with any lender.  

For example, landlords have in the past tried to avoid setting up separate escrow accounts by placing language into the lease - PA state law says that won't fly.
