Then again where else can you get 10:1 leverage from a conventional source (with out seller financing to aid)?

For access to the MLS (not HAR), I would recommend signing up with Real Acquisitions, which basically is the closest thing you can get to having access to the MLS without being a Realtor.

I had our HVAC guy I have been using look at it, he said it is 12-15 years old and to repair them is pretty much wasting money as they are going to be band-aids and possibly not work at all.

In response to your comment about Detroit it probably was not on the list because of the large amounts of recent aide, ongoing investment, and the bankruptcy being in midstream.

I made a soft/rough offer and feeling nervous about it and wanted to see if anyone had any insight.It was difficult to pull comps because of the uniqueness of the property but the closest I could find were 3 properties that sold in the last month and were all 6-families that sold for roughly $600k all of which had 3br/3br/2br type setup.The subject property has 5 two bedrooms, 2 studio's and the commercial unit.

The Home Inspection aids the Seller to this end and will henceforth be part of any recent transaction of the property. ( I believe but am not certain that a home inspection, if conducted, becomes part of the required disclosures thereafter).

I could bore you all with a bunch of particulars, but the main thing I need right now is a good Austin RE lawyer to aid us in getting this jerk out of our property without him damaging it.
