@Misti DelMar Good news - a good realtor is worth their weight in gold and can help you with all of this.

Based on the fact you have presented in this email chain, I would expect the buyer to argue that by not checking the appropriate box on your disclosure form, you misled him/her into believing that no potential environmental defect in title existed. 

It's dealing with the bad apples where you figure out which PM's are worth their weight in gold. 

Rising materials costs, labor shortages, supply chain issues, and the rising bar to obtaining permits to meet energy code are also dampening the development arena.

If you are in Tennessee, Southpoint Risk is the gold standard. 

I'd buy in the name of my LLC vs transfer with a weak deed and show the world your title chain.

A good GC is worth their weight in gold, but a bad GC can turn your life upside down...not only that, but the way you communicate with and manage your GC can have a huge effect on how successful the project is, how much you end up paying, how long it takes, etc. 

Also, might try reaching out to regional chains pitching the space to them as you would a bank.

I remember thinking I had struck gold with this cold calling stuff but it turns out I just got EXTREMELY lucky.

The lead time on Modular along with all other lead times in the construction industry, went through the roof with COVID and the following supply chain issues.
