Framing also looks in good shape with solid footings under beams.My assumption here is, given the scope of the  work to fix, this will require the town's sewer dept and/or health dept to get involved.I'm trying to decide if I should wait out the seller to fix and keep going through with closing or just take back my earnest money and keep looking for something less problematic from a sewage/sewer perspective.

Main stream media [ie left side media] is going to push the recession narrative very hard next 6 months, they want pain so people do not vote for Trump.

Normally I’d say “ let them marinate in their own filth if they are paying “ but in this case being it’s literally your next door neighbor and there’s a concern for health and sanitation of your unit , you might want to get rid of them now that the lease is up and see if the next guy coming In is cleaner .

This additional layer of paperwork would be a pain, do I need to rework my lease to add verbage for a cosigner?

. - Only one heating system, so the bill is insane, almost 8-10k a year- water very expensive, not sub metered and a pain to do, tenants won't pay for it anyway, at 8500 / yr- Flood zone, needs flood insurance & crazy other insurance, totaling about 10k-11k a year- Deferred maintenance - needs roof, deck work, landscaping and some interior work. - No one buys it, it sits, they price drop to 1.6, now they want 1.4, but it is no longer on the market. 

I am a health care provider (surgeon) and have been working for the past 2 years making a very good living for myself.

Bookkeeping and incorporation costs are a pain.

Originally posted by @Lauren Havens: we teach a lot of classes about torture rentals.That sounds sort of painful. 

I wouldn’t want the additional potential health hazard , unless it was   Really worth it. 

Not having a dishwasher is also a pain if you don't know this up front.
