@Carrie Lane you'd have to prove the PMC directed the pest company to add the screens.Otherwise, you'd have to go after the pest company.Not sure what you would actually win to make it cost effective.

It also doesn't help that the newer generations want instant gratification so it's the perfect storm to buy into the hoopla.

Buy-and-hold for the win!

Quote from @Dave Poeppelmeier: Quote from @Will Gaston: @Christos Kappatos I'm 100% serious:Lowest expectations wins in college students.Can't assume they'll read the lease, follow the lease, etc.

It first appraised for $330k which I challenged as I had better comps, but it's rare to win one. 

If the landlord was aware of his past, yet rented to him anyway - any lawyer worth their salt would make a nexus between those two pieces of information and create a liability claim.In addition to the extreme negative press you would get, it also takes time, money and energy to defend a lawsuit you will eventually win.

I provided a strategic offer to win in a multiple bidding scenario using discernment around the due diligence fee and length of timing.

@Sandee SampsonA construction attorney would be who to contact but you are going to spend a lot more than $7000 in getting this resolved against a builder.Also let’s say you win, the courts could also say you didn’t pay for a retaining wall which is needed so it’s a betterment to the property so you would still need to pay for the wall and they would be responsible for some soil etc.

Negotiations focused on a win-win approach, securing the property at $197,000, aligning with market value, while setting us up for a profitable resale with a trusted buyer on the same day.

But leveraged  appreciation on better appreciating homes and areas will win out every time.
