The price was quickly "corrected".Now, I've seen this happen more than once, and IMO it is sometimes done DELIBERATELY by the listing agent to draw attention to a property that has been languishing on the market.

if that doesnt work go back to the drawing board.

I would be curious to see how others draw the line to judge a war zone.

It would certainly save you on subsequent trips if you had a trust worthy person who could send you pics of the property.

I suggest you draw one line through the part restricting your speech, sign it and send it to them.

You will have to look at the legal costs versus the value of the land if you win.Hopefully both of you can have attorneys draw up a solution outside of court litigation which can be expensive and time consuming for both parties.

Ok so off I go back to the drawing board.

Basically I am borrowing 100% of the purchase price but giving them $6500 in an escrow account to draw against to do the repairs.

Perhaps it is my novice perspective that draws me to do this for "fun."

Not that I'm necessarily going to ditch the day job once we've got enough coming in from our investments, but once the info is out there people will draw their own conclusions.
