Why wouldn't they just sell it off to someone they have worked with in the past, or list it themselves?

Double check it with some trusted professionals, if they agree with your numbers, then I'd say go for it.. see if you can ask the listing agent/seller/whoever is connected to the property what offers they've had in the past or what was the recent activity if you are skeptical.But as one poster mentioned..if the numbers work, they work... 

It is not noted if it past or present activity.

My modus operandi at the moment is I make a calculated decision, I either believe you are a serious investor, have cash to make the deal happen (or can get it) and I work with you, (typically a real live investor will want to show off properties they've acquired in the past) or I simply blow you off.

If this is a multi family house or apartment building the inspector was probably not going to go on the roof anyway and the interior attic inspection is actually pretty valuable to determine if there has been past or active leaks. 

My wife is a teacher and I’m a pastor.

In the end, I am a Pastor and I cannot afford anger and discouragement to interfere with my overall being, if I expect to hear from the Lord concerning His people's perfection.

If anyone has done this kind of search in the past, or even has a place to search and some guidelines they have used in the past, this seems like a great tool to share with the community.
