@Brett Dudley the inspector for any buyer should catch the roof needs replacing and any other major issues, which should lead to the buyer renegotiating/lowering their offer price to cover these.

Currently, I'm only offered 27 hours of work per week at an average/below-average pay rate, which isn't nearly enough to save for a down payment or qualify for a loan.I've tried selling belongings to generate extra income, but it's not sustainable in the long run.

More maintenance on the balcony depends on the values. we have 7 zips we build a triplex in and some of them we have considered adding balconies if the market calls for it. another way to do it is on the back where the walk up is if they are truly apartments you can add it there. depends on the level you are after. 

Purchase: He says banks don’t offer 30 year loans for CRE.

They are offered trade school or state college debt-free. 

Traditionally, these agents, often younger and less established, educate buyers about market nuances, show properties, and represent them in offers.

Unfortunately we cannot offer the full asking price because we are not approved to do so.

I just walked away because it’s better if I don’t get involved in something that may or may not even be legal.

As an agent representing sellers you should always make sure there is earnest money deposit as part of any accepted offer. 

Toledo pretty much offers the same, if you're set on that city connect with @Engelo Rumora
