A local experienced architect recommended hiring an attorney to fight the code violation.

My agent pushes this agent and tells him that she has no denial letter from any lender saying he cannot get lending and so we will be fighting for the escrow money.That night we do some digging into this buyer and find out several things.1. the proof of funds he submitted is from a company the he does not own, and further more a company he has never even worked for.

After a 3 month fight with the hoa I got my unit rented (they tried to say there was a cap), then (on a unit I purchased for $210,000) we ended up with an $8,500 assessment 6 months in, then a $12,000 assessment a year later.

In your experience, are reps and warranties worth fighting for? 

Just as I was about to put in my offer, BLUEGREEN the timeshare from hell that I have been fighting, plopped on to my credit.

Finding good deals is becoming more and more difficult in today's market.Rehabbers are fighting over properties and margins are becoming thinner and thinner.During dinner last night with an attorney who is well-connected with hedge funds here in Chicago, I learned a very interesting secret.

(We have rehabbed a half dozen or so homes over the years to live in or rent out and she is very capable.)So...  

The last deal we did off the MLS I had to jump through a bunch of hoops because the listing agent would not accept our offer until the POF came through, even though my realtor, which we've used several times in all cash purchases, vouched for us and funding capabilities.  

I also agree with @Robert Santangelo some battles just aren't worth fighting even if you are right, and even if you can win.

They manage the property, they collect rent, and they do the maintenance that they are capable of.
