So that said, the listing agent will use all of his/her powers to get you to buy the deal (even if it's not a good deal). 

@David Krulac  there ya go completely different than most states.. out here CA you buy the property at tax sale you get a deed in a few weeks or a month or so from the tax collector you record it.. its yours.. now there is a 1 year statue in CA for the owner to come back and say something was wrong with the sale.. but it is not a redemption they have to prove the county messed up the sale in some way.. the easiest way is to prove the county did not advertise the specified days.. we lost one that way.. but that was one in over a thousand my dad bought over the years.In Oregon for Sure the county commissioners actually have the power to reverse the sale.. but that's just getting it back from the state.. next time I see you I will tell you about one case that is fascinating here. but I don't want to describe it in a public forum and give the bad guys ammo if you know what I mean.

Typically the power is off and the sump pump not working and or other drainage issues that can be fixed. 

Generally, fewer buildings will likely be less expensive - especially for water, power, gas, ISP hookups.

The Deed of Trust or Mortgage gives them the power of sale if you don't!

Power is yours, without 1031 timelines.

Then the contractors realize you know what you are talking about and you will get taken advantage of a lot less. knowledge is indeed powerful.

I can share the 'details' but  I am concerned because he won't answer my questions directly, he answers with a question... a power play?

Say it with meMonkey Power!

Being able to borrow money at 3-4% for a business is very powerful and unique.
