*background info* I have a 4 plex I am closing on and going to live in the worst unit and attempt to replace the flooring of that unit myself as a house hackYou sound experienced in the flooring because the vocab is way above my head lol

I'm sure dealing with severe water damage and the previous owner's DIY attempts was a good amount of work, but what a great reward with that sale price!

When I spoke to him, he stated that has been attempting to give the property back to the bank.

They do that with no standing, and even if they do attempt to follow through with the threat no one will take their complaint seriously.

Seller tried to use brokers, but after 2 attempts gave up.

- Are lenders attempting other methods of inspection like video conferencing and tools of the sort?

The second report is my attempt at a counter offer. 

I need advice, I am attempting to buy a 3 bed 2.5 home (My very first home) from a older gentleman with; no representation who is trying to move out of state ASAPWho refuses to pay a broker fee (because he absolutely does not like agents)  and he also DIY his home by adding the extra rooms and bathrooms.

I am attempting to consider the pros and cons of this arrangement and was looking for advice and insight from those who have done in before.
