Found this "Treasure" while pulling out some carpet in a bathroom.Nothing good comes from carpeting a bathroom.

Now I'm living in his house and my house is basically unlivable due to the kitchen and baths being completely tore apart.I've been living in his house (only paying utilities) for the past four months while trying desperately to complete a bathroom so I can move back in and out of his house.

You could ask the seller for more time, but in my (limited) experience if a seller is willing to sell you their house for enough of a discount that you can flip it to a wholesaler and still make a profit, that seller mostly likely wants to close asap. 

is that I may be able to get the property at discount since it has sat on the market with no sale.

However, my feeling is this - banks may be much more willing to move this type of property (oil and septic) for a larger discount with no contingency, cash offer.

The key is to get them at a discount compared to a single family home to cover the expense and hassle of dealing with the hoa.

Don't expect any discounts because you've been a rental tenant.

And that is what is needed if your going to buy a home at discount or pre foreclosure etc. and your skill set can be what you learn and then what you craft for your PERSONALITY not one size fits all.But there are certain trigger lines.. you have to learn to not sell past the close .. you have to know when to shut up.. you have to be able to lead them to the conclusion you want.. and again ASK for the order...

You will have to discount it but at least you will have or he will have some money to move on to a deal where he can make a better decision and selection of a property that will produce a better outcome from a profit view point.

The entire house looks beautiful but the bathrooms and kitchen are immaculate.
