Ok, so let's address some possibilities one by one to see what is likely.If you found out that there are material defects in the property (which you have) then it is entirely appropriate to ask for some form of "fix" if strategically it makes sense to do so.It is possible that the agent is reluctant to include your request for a price reduction commensurate with the level of damage to the property for a variety of reasons.

Coupled with 1031s instead of "R"efis at strategic points and this can be a very powerful strategy.Also, the source of the loan does not matter.
