Background info:5 units (efficiency/1BD) MFH with below market rent (~10-15% below market) at a reasonable asking price on market in 10/211st buyer under contract never had legitimate documented tax return income (crooked agent was representing both seller/buyer), so deal was off.Seller and I signed Bill of Sell/Agreement for $315k on 2/10/22 with no mortgage contingency but with inspection contingency to be closed on 3/28/2022Inspections revealed plenty of things needed addressed (roof, gutters) and we agreed on final transaction price of $305k with closing on 4/20/2022 (new BOS addendum, etc)Seller's agent (the crooked one) told me and my agent that the U&O was "clean" in 2/2022, but when the seller herself tried to get township to issue new U&O in 3/2022 in order for house to be sold, turned out the U&O wasn't so clean and required: sidewalks, driveway, some electrical stuff to be done prior to transfer of new owner.In the mean time, the mortgage market skyrocketed and I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow money from family member (at 4% interests at 5yrs) to buy the multi-unit outright with cash at $305k.As recent as mid-April (approaching our revised closing on 4/20/22) the seller was in direct communications with my agent (her initiating the contacts since 2/2022) and updated him that she was trying to get contractors to do all the required U&O work done (we know how hard it is to get good help now).
