But he's in Ch.13 bankruptcy and so is the house.

Short story, my buyer couldn't get over water in a crawl space that was disclosed as "small amount" she viewed 3 inches as a significant amount.

Might start at like 2 inches off the floor and let plastic baseboard complete to the floor. 

I have my own, for the most part, and like to use them.Prior to closing we did an inspection, we found a few issues, leaking plumbing, a gas hot water heater that wasn't to code, (not 18 inches off the ground and poorly vented).  

Ohio has a great repossession law on land contract, close to evicting.ROFR or right of first refusal and a lease can be a tool to motivate the buyer to buy.Buyer Incentives like paying all closing costs or even "we will pay first 3 mortgage payments" like the apartment ads, or "free 99 inch plasma ultra smart tv with purchase" always help sellers sell------ For buyers buying on seller financing, I would first go to a RMLO or  registered mortgage loan originator; unless you've been under a rock since January 10, 2014 the federal government has made seller financing difficult.

I'm buying properties around the urban core, hoping to inch closer to the city center such that my rental portfolio builds a ton of equity and produces tons of cash flow and allows me to live in LoHi, Cap Hill, Highlands, or something like that for free, in a beautiful building in about 5 years. 

About an inch from the wall on both sides throughout the majority of the house the carpet was green, moldy green.

I know every inch of Ft Worth.

Then 14 inches or so off the floor below you would cut a square for the box for the electric and the cable. 

It was flooded about 2 weeks ago when we got about 5 inches of rain in one morning.
