Maybe think about postponing the "dream" home now for a better dream home in five years.Here is a link to some such homes for sale currently in Greenville:http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Greenville-SC...I know nothing about your area, so I'll leave it to you to decide if the location of those properties is acceptable to you or not. 

It was accepted and the rest is the rest of the story.  1. 4 Unit - A friend of my brother in law wanted out of the apartment business. 

I don't want to just accept that.  

Purchase is subject to Buyer's review and written acceptance of final results of survey; of any lot-line adjustment/s, easement/s, and/or other agreements with adjacent property owners; and of the finalized property boundaries once any changes are completed.

I don't really have any evidence that they new about the leaks accept that I noticed the leaks for the first time after there was heavy rain within 2 months of buying the house, but now 11 months have passed since I purchased the house.If I was going to go forward with this I would just get a quote from a contractor on how much it would cost to fix it and bring that to court as the amount that I want to collect in damages.

@Jay Baxter please accept my apologies for the delay in replying!

The price will be very low to reflect the condition and the land itself is likely worth more than what I will accept.  

But, we have a hard and fast rule of not accepting applications if the eviction falls withing 3 years.

Many of my offers aren't accepted but enough are.

If you get a financial partner offer to accept less than 50% for your compensation.
