Tenant has not responded to the request but insists it’s a ESA.

If you go Sunriver make sure it is in the main part of the resort, in Sisters some of that outskirts do very well, but I would be lying if I thought the numbers from 2022 would hold through 2023.  

The seller and the attorney are fully aware that I plan to flip and resell for a profit, only the attorney is insisting that I close first, then resell to whoever I want.This is an estate sale.
