Maybe there is a compromise.

This also works out well for appreciation.Accepting ‘zero cash flow properties’ is  really just a compromise on your part that I would suggest you not make.  

I ordered a 3rd party inspection and a list of items came back that needs to be (leaking pipe under sink, rodent infestation in the attic, downspout that needs securing, sewer vent pipe out to the attic, missing smoke detectors in a unit, loose material from basement wall which can compromise foundation if not fixed, etc...).

Also, if the county purchased the property at a tax sale, commissioners have the discretion to enter into a compromise agreement with the owner for less than the whole amount due, subject to court confirmation. (72 P.S. § 5876).Under the state's Municipal Claims and Tax Lien law, some counties provide a nine-month redemption period during which you may redeem the home. (53 P.S. § 7293).

Maybe there is a compromise of somewhere in between.

Nice compromise but it does look better for lease/option tenants and it wears better in the main living areas if they vacate.

For brevity's sake, I understand the merit of seller's not paying professionals to negotiate against them and I am a proponent of brokers having greater flexibility and influence on compensation allocated, as it provides all parties greater chance of compromise. 

I agree with Nathan..... there should be a compromise to make both happy.But legally the camera is pointing towards his vehicle, in his parking assigned space and if its also viewing a common public area, there is no invasion of privacy... its a common shared access area.

To me it seems like a decent compromise in the need for housing and the ability for home owners to make decisions about the highest and best use for their own property.Currently working on being able to put an ADU on a SFH property in a Denver metro suburb and the process is sooooo cumbersome, so I am glad that hopefully others won't have to deal with that process for much longer

@Tyler McDonald - we may have found a compromise solution, i spoke with folks across the street who already have an event hall.
