This deal that you mentioned sounds at first blush that it's dead in the water because of the large deposit.

You can also take them to small claims court but you cannot get water from a stone.

This is my first extensively water damaged home that I may purchase.

I'm thinking a pure white or perhaps an alabaster white.

Check on storm sewers, storm ponds, water runoff direction. 

But you still have to provide (and maintain) a kitchen, a bathroom, HVAC (well maybe just heat), a water heater.

3 hot water heaters, 3 furnaces, etc.3.

Hello, I am planning on purchase two triplexes that have a single water meter for each property.

The attorneys for the buyer and the title insurance company apparently did not do their work because they did not find this debt before closing but they found a stupid lien on my house for a water softener.

When you install them clicked together, that creates the seam that water can and will penetrate.Tile it.
