You made an offer for both properties for $300k, then the inspection revealed lots of issues needing attention, though not major ones, so you offered $280k asking for a reduction in price.

Most insurance companies wont even issue the policy if the current condition is distressed.

As I said, I think there is a lot of work to do to get this estimate on track but those are some of the obvious issues. 

I ended up having to sell that building for a different reason which resolved the issue but it was a nightmare.

I have an appointment this week with the L&I office to discuss this issue, to see if they can issue me a letter or anything that notes that the property can legally be used as a two-family.I would greatly appreciate any input that any of you may have!

That would mean that every other lender has already missed it...which might be possible I guess.Hope that makes a little more sense as to what the issue is.

@Nick Maugeri It also depends on your level of risk tolerance for whether you want to leverage a property and if there are issues with the property that will not allow it to be financed initially.

@Ryan Beesley if the properties are rented this shouldn't be that big of an issue.  

A search and seizure warrant was signed off and issued for tenants son who resided at my property from evidence I assume acquired by law enforcement.Need eviction attorney recommendation:This started out as a termination for the lease clause mentioned above.

When we purchased this property, it was run down and had major issues to fix and there was an additional .34 acre parcel of land included with the purchase that is located next door.
