I called the city to explain (I also let my realtor know as a courtesy so she could let the buyers' realtor know).In extreme eyesore situations, government gets involved and code enforcement liens on the property can add up over time.

Along the way I plan on investing in some buy and hold opportunities as they come up to really setup some long term wealth.I'm currently scouring the market for deals which are few an far between (there are a 1,000 of me out there) but always looking for different ways to get involved. 

I was coming off a bad experience with a Multi level marketing company and wanted a way to earn a second income that didn’t involve that type of thing.

I have listened to 43 episodes of Bigger Pockets and I would like to become more involved.

It'll help you get your kids involved now and save you money. 

The seller will capture some of the potential and the buyer will discount the future potential against the risk and cost of achieving it and that means you will meet somewhere in the middle.The best way to figure it out is to build a pro forma showing the schedule and costs involved and figure out how much you are willing to pay to achieve your investment goals.

Technical answer: because a sink involves plumbing, including a trap which can leak sewer gassesReal answer: Because the city are greedy, in addition to incompetant.
