A couple problems dividing a property and selling in a “Timely” manner and then picking exchange properties of equal or greater value than the lots you sale.  

Never once did anyone from his staff call and ask why I wasn’t getting on the calls that I paid to be on if there were problems etc etc.

Have a problem in the forums?

But I would not consider what the seller needs to make in determining what I'm willing to pay for a property, especially when youre buying a problem like this.

I did a search on the forums and insurance seems like it could be a major problem.

You have to prove it wasn't done illegally, And, if you can't pay it off to solve the problem, and at the same time, pay for an attorney, you've already lost. 

I removed the chimney and added modern HVAC, making it the only house on the block with it, significantly enhancing its value.

Jaron Walling said something that caught my attention, "search for and buy a bad roof, leverage it during the negotiation"....especially of the property has been sitting on the market longer than normal for the current market, a "bad roof" might be a gift from the real estate genie.My point is this: get good at estimating and fixing a bad roof (or any particular problem found with most houses that sit on the market longer) and you'll get comfortable buying/fixing properties that scare off other buyers.

Quote from @LaTonya Clark: I can cancel the deal with no problems. yes, I feel like I am forcing this bc I want it so bad.
