Yeah, chances are if the sidewalk is as poorly constructed as you can see -there's no expansion joints, mesh and there's not a sufficient gravel base beneath the existing concrete.

The education and support from the community along with the business model provided has absolutly improved the quality of my life!

I'm sure you would like to defer it and only pay during closing.If you buy the option from him, then, yes, you would expect to be put into contact with the owner, and get a chance to look around to your hearts content.

I do not want to go forward with a law suit against them if there is any chance I can get tagged with this listing thing.

With the low interest rates and improving exchange rate, I'm also looking to expand my real estate investments. 

That's scary to a lot of folks...and they leave and don't come back unless they see some activity to improve that situation.

Although I'm sure those neighborhoods have a great chance of turning around as the "goodness" radiates outward.So, I called the listing agent last night and sure enough, 3 offers on it, ALL OF THEM OVER LIST.Please, for your sake and ours, if you don't know what you're doing keep your money in your pocket.all cash

Do you think there would be a chance you could get it at that amount?

Your in the game you might as well play where you have the greatest chance of success.It is all about risk assesment in my humble opinionI prefer to risk everything I have because if i lose what I have I will have it all back in under 5 years most likely in 2 years.If I don't risk it I know I will be broke and unable to retire.Hmmm what is retirement......I don't think Ill ever do that one because my definition of retirement is to be able to go where I want when I want and do what ever I want to do.........So I make a few phone calls during the day and make more money for doing so......I will never quit teaching people This business because It has made me a truely free man.One will never be free until one has no attachments in life because attachments by the nature of the word attach us or tie us down......I am not attached to my money or things....I can't take them with meI am not attached to life.......when i die my body stays hereI am not attached to my wife and son .....I love them but they are their own spirits.......If we had never taken the risk to travel to the moon we would have never reaped the benifits of such a great undertaking..Sorry but I believe that all things are possible to him that believe...I guess it's kind of a sensitive subject for me.

So RE is so powerful because you get tremendous tax reduction benefits (depreciation, interest expenses, all operating expenses, and depreciate your capital improvements) all the while you've leveraged your investments, your tenants are paying your mortgage down for you, inflation is eating away at your mortgage, and you raise rents over time.
