In the end, agents are busy people too and it rests on us as buyers to be proactive about checking out the listings they send our way and see if we need their help to proceed.It will be the same with any new agent you hire, particularly if they are a buyer’s agent not being paid by the buyer – the incentive while there is not as strong to be working any more than necessary just for the buyer to turn around and say, no notinterested in that one, just my opinion, but ultimately it comes down to time, a rare commodity and while you may have discussed what you want, it always comes back to us as the buyer to check out what is presented to us.The Good news is that it is not too late for you to make an offer if you really like this house, but I would suggest visiting it and running the numbers, maybe even having some knowledgeable people here on BP that you trust, help you with reviewing the numbers with you.To remove the awkwardness and ensure that your best interests are being met, I would do as @David N Peterson suggested, which is to go with a separate agent and also just keep your lips zipped.That being said, I am curious, did you sign a contract with the agent that would prevent you from doing this, i.e. going with another agent?

I've never posted here about how complying with the IRC makes me feel, but I'm going  to venture a guess it is also going to seem awkward and misplaced.Best of Luck!

Usually turns out that one or the other doesn't show up because the situation is to awkward. 

The BIG learning for me is that an awkward layout or size that's different from the standard unit dimensions can be a turn off, even if the price is compelling....and that means it may take longer to place a tenant, a financial hit to the owner. 

Awkward conversation?  

One store, rented to a laundromat didn't do all that well because of traffic patterns, It was just awkward to drive to.I was looking at a small strip with three stores, all rented, and one to a restaurant.

As his personal property, his ownership interest in the partnership will pass to his heirs, which may change (from "his daughter" to new wife, kids, siblings, or whoever)Now, the ex-wife could find herself in the position of being partners with the new-wife guardian of the daughter who is still a minor, which might be awkward or even destroy the property.

I don't want to be laughed at if I say something awkward.

The only similar houses in the same price range were in need of a roof and AC at a minimum, many were wood frame or had awkward additions. 

Yes you will be denied, yes people will get mad, and yes it can be awkward and freaking sucks and is uncomfortable.
