Everyone thinks it's from the corner, but we dropped a pump in the square hole to empty the basement ...

The basement floods during heavy rains, and to fix it, water control companies have quoted him amounts he can’t pay.

Would you take wall out to make master about 20x11 and drop down to 3bd/3ba or leave as is?

What has been hinted at is the following:Listed for 3 months ($24k)Seller mentioned being willing to drop to $18K; 'Partner' wants to counter with $10k.Possible Description (Not Confirmed):3 Beds & 2 BathsCarport, 2 Sheds, & 2 DecksSunroom & Fireplace in living roomRented for $334 + Electric(This is low for non-MH properties in the area [~$750], but I'm not sure if it is normal to be that much lower)Motivated SellerI would like to know, if this property is in decent shape, whether or not it would represent an intelligent investment.

You may not count pay from a new part time job if they have no history of part time income or child support being received on a 20 year old college student may drop off at 21, so that income is not expected to continue and it would not be counted.The amounts available to these students probably come with strings attached, most likely their grades must be acceptable, if they end up on probation funds could be at risk.

I grew up in a fishing community and when I was a kid everyone dumped their garbage over the rail ... many drained old engine oil in shaft alley and pumped it out with the bilge water.

Since someone threw me in the water, I'll enjoy swimming.

I'm still waiting for the duplex socket outlets with USB to drop in price so I can pick them up for the rentals.

You can't learn to swim by watching a video or reading a book, you've got to jump in, splash around, swallow some water and sink to the bottom a couple times before you figure it out.When I take a lump in life that costs me time or money, I tell myself I just paid for some education that you can't get from a college course or a guru, because I know I won't be repeating that mistake again.

A financially distressed seller can get into all kinds of trouble which could result in having additional liens come against the property (back property taxes, irs liens, child support, water/sewer, etc), or they could lose the property altogether by foreclosure.
