If the repairs/costs exceed the deposit, the discount would need to be significant to result in anything and it would not warrant the effort of a law suit.  

There is maipulation going on in the background: lawsuits, (can even be unlawful foreclosure), FDIC requirements & investigations, mortgage insurance processing, too many REOs at the bank, bankruptcies, contract requirements, change in department heads, change in policy mid sale and on and on.

A lot of people read these responses, but they never comment.My responses are almost always oriented toward people who have the same question so I try to make it general enough to be useful to them as well in the future.Someone, not you, stated "I wouldn't disclose anything" and that is very bad advice and I just wanted to make sure no one fell into that trap unwittingly.In a lawsuit, a good attorney would point out that the borrower didn't disclose and that would go badly for them with the judge and jury.

I know you want a triple dip, 1. buying the house with superior knowledge (that's the one the lawsuit would be about) 2. collecting the listing fee and 3. collecting the buyer's agent fee, I think the judge would see right through it and agree you broke fiduciary duty and took advantage of the seller. 

(Kylie Cooper / The Seattle Times)Several of the largest property management companies operating in Seattle conspired to drive up rents and decrease competition, three lawsuits filed this month allege.The cases, filed in federal court in Seattle, focus on the use of RealPage software, which gathers information about rental units and rent prices and uses an algorithm to recommend how much landlords should charge.The complaints claim that by exchanging detailed and “competitively sensitive” information, RealPage and the landlords have illegally created a “cartel” to set prices in violation of antitrust laws.The widespread use of RealPage has increased rents across the country and in Seattle neighborhoods such as downtown, Capitol Hill, the Central District, South Lake Union and Queen Anne, the complaints allege.The lawsuits, filed on behalf of tenants, cited an investigation by the nonprofit news outlet ProPublica that was published in October and detailed the use of RealPage in Seattle and other cities.

Your Question: "I just wonder how far it would go" Lawsuits like that are subjective, that's why they become lawsuits.
