In theory you could level the tub and then hide this discrepancy if you are installing tile in the bathroom.  1/2" backer board + 3/8 thick tile + 1/8" mortar = 1" thick from sub-floor to finish floor.

My best guess would be an investor is attempting to purchase the property and the title company handling the settlement is unwilling to give them the clear to close because there is some sort of discrepancy about who has legal claim to the house. 

I'm curious about the discrepancy. 

The other side of the coin if there is a challenge with the property ( you fired contractors, discrepancies, whatever always let the PML know as soon as possible, but have a solution for the complication.John, hey this is Bernie we had to fire our 1st set of workers, because they stole material, but the good news is we have already replaced them, and we won't miss any progress.It truly is not difficult to find money, we must change our mindset, and believe we are doing them the favor, not the other way around.

With the discrepancy in square footage and improvements you need more than one comp. 

See if it lines uo with what you already know, if not, determine discrepancy.

Hi BP Community,I've found a property for an investor In East Williamsburg, its a 6 unit and C-2 zoned. The taxes are incredibly high for this type of commercial property and I was hoping somebody might have some advi...

Further, the large discrepancy causing some homeowners' tax assessments to date back to 30 years ago is because of Prop 13 that protects older, long-time homeowners from higher tax assessments/ tax payments in CA (it limits the increase on tax assessments to a certain percentage of the previous year unless the property changes ownership, at which point the tax assessed value is updated within 12 mos of the close usually). 

Hi Sherry,I would think that the answer to you question is "it depends" on how important those 500sf are for your investment.If it is very important then yes, you should cancel.If it is of medium importance, then renegotiate better a better based on the missing sf and if they don't lower the price then you can cancel the offer before the contingency period ends.If it is irrelevant, then why cancel, maybe try to renegotiate but don't be to hard.Have you inquired as to the discrepancy?

As far as the discrepancy in price, 75k vs 95k I don't believe it was the result of other folks bidding.
