So late fees are going to be the decision of the Judge now and not per the contract because you have compromised the contract. 

I have tried speaking to them directly to try to reach a compromise, I have even spoken with their lawyer daughter.

Just wondering what are some things you are willing to compromise on and what things have to be the same in order for you to use that property as a comp ?

Than you Tim G unfortunately I'm unable to attend today for work compromise hopefully there will be another meeting soon.

But if you buy with the idea that that residence will be an investment, and that you will compromise your long term goals for short term gain it need not be that way.

I think I am actually compromising by asking for him to keep the money he promised in exchange for a refund of the fees he charged on that money.

Don't let someone talk you into staggered SD payments or any compromise of this all-important standard.Let me know if you have any particular, specific questions as you drive further into the process.Peace,

Just because the roof isn’t actively leaking (honestly the condition is so bad I would be surprised that it isn’t but I can’t prove it as my inspection was done on a dry day and the attic is “finished”) I have already compromised on a lot of the issues that inspection revealed and refuse to compromise on this.

You may find that if you rush, and miss something, your new tenant relationship will be compromised.

Perhaps suggest the 26th as a compromise.
