I attempt to snake the drain myself, doesnt work a plumber comes and we think everything is all good.  3 days later tennant calls and washing machine in room adjacent to kitchen backs up out of the floor drain and causes damage to flooring in 2 adjacent rooms.

My wife and I are attempting to buy our first investment property and hopefully house hack with it.

However I am attempting to purchase my first single family home with a conventional 20% down in Chicago-land suburbs in order to fix up while living there for a year or two, with the intent of renting out later.

I vote yes if you have genuinely abandoned your attempt to buy the property.

I'm attempting to build a US credit score myself (from Australia), with no intention of moving there.Have managed to get US HSBC bank account remotely, and Nova credit has given me a good score was just unsure about needing US sourced income for the Amex or if they'll accept Aus income/residency.Thanks again!

With that said, with only $25 down and the request for a long close my guess is they don't have a bunch of buyers they work with, but instead want to tie up your property and then attempt to market it and find one.

I am attempting...and not succeeding...in finding out how many liens and in what amount are on a property I am interested in at an online auction.

It was a half *** attempt of an addition for sure.

How do tell when to just "let go" vs attempt different "exit strategies?"

Need to belly up and assume the risk or don't play.You're wasting your time attempting to get non-recourse financing IMO.
