I wouldn't touch this property with someone else's 10 foot pole.I don't do ANYTHING with foundation work.There are people who do, and that's awesome for them.

I was initially looking to buy a lot in Northern IL, and my agent alerted me that there have been some scams where people are posing as the owners of lots that they do not truly own, and then somehow potential buyer gets taken for the EMD.

I have gone through ALDOR to purchase and I’ve also purchased through a broker, but I was looking to see if there were websites that also listed them that I could take a look at? Thanks 

People also grossly underestimate the time and effort doing this takesUltimately, I believe folks need to do what's right for them.

If not please delete this post.Can anyone recommend an architect company who is familiar with ADU and is responsive, organized and creative in problem solving?

I like people that have been through good and bad and are still here. 

Tell the people you interview the address or just the area and the property details (so they don't look up current rental info.)

@Collin H.With credit card defaults and auto defaults on the rise as well as overall debt - people will start tightening the belts and first thing they will get rid of is spending on travel and vacations etc So reading this I am not surprised - how has 2024 been compared overall to last year ?

Is lowering the asking price the only way to solve this issue?  

I’ve heard of people getting rehab loans where you put down %20 of the acquisition price and %20 for the rehab and you get much better terms than an HML.
