Honestly I had problems at every twist and turn on that mixed use building.

From what you have written, I will gently disagree with my BP colleagues. 

Please, be gentle but honest!

But how do I inform the tenant of this decision, while making a gentle and compelling argument?

The work was all done by a reputable contractor that I know and trust.The roof is a little wavy and there are multiple gentle slopes in the house, one of which doesn't allow the bathroom door to close properly.I had someone come out to the property today to check the crawl space but the new vinyl siding covers the access so it looks as if I won't be able to see it before buying.

There will always be a segment of the housing market for sales that are distressed or people who just don't want to deal with selling a home on the regular market. iBuyers are a new twist on wholesaling and other forms of off market home buying that real estate investors have done for decades on a small scale.

But nice try “broker”.Love how you try to twist paying for training as a reason to get a license LOL One sit down with a lawyer and YouTube  could have shown you that whole training book.

@Jackie Cramer I would have an honest but gentle conversation with her and let her know that an extra two months puts you at odds with market timing and you are unable to accommodate it.

This is real just another twist on time shared properties.

(I know you said you weren’t interested in 1031 but this is a twist to another future retirement home.)
