I really like the idea of owning this property because it is in a nice location, I can collaborate with my Dad's beach house in case any renter needed additional rooms or wants to rent out 2 houses next to each other (my Dad said he would rent his place out too) , decent sized lawn on the property, and the house needs to be fixed up on the interior (wood paneling/new dry wall, old carpets, out dated furniture, and older appliances).

Now, the seller's agent is simply not returning any correspondence, leaving me little option.Per the CAR contract - it's pretty cut-and-dry about pursuing small claims court, and without good faith reasons -they can be liable for treble (triple) damages as well as legal fees incurred on my end.It's not a huge sum of money, but given that it's mine, and that the seller will be liable for legal fees associated - I'd like to talk to a lawyer to make sure I'm proceeding correctly.

We put the stain in a small handheld paint sprayer,   And he put a coat of stain on the bricks while I followed behind with a dry towel, wiping any drips.

I wouldn't say it's drying out but priced wrong.

Visible dark dots -- I guess that's why the tenant associate mold with her being sick. 

The washing is fine.. but it takes 3 hours to dry which waste a lot of electric

I won't go into the whole story but we lost about 200K on a franchise deal, mostly due to a lawsuit from the state that the franchise left us out to dry, so you can understand her apprehension.

We pressure washed, let dry for two days of full sun then painted two coats of tinted primer.  

If they leave you high and dry, or worse just decide to stop paying and drag you through the courts, it can be months of you covering all of the costs.  

It is a means to and end, it keeps my family safe, dry, and warm.
