It matters not what the tax office shows, it only matters what the survey shows, assuming of course the survey is correct and they are wrong more often than folks believe. 

@Erick Ragland Is it correct to assume you aren't working with a realtor?

My overall investment focus is to aquire a mixture of 2-4 unit (non owner occupied) properties and smaller apartment complexes before growing into bigger deals.

The enrollment fee to which you are referring is not a down payment, it doesn't go toward a loan, does not guarantee that we will fund a deal for you that doesn't meet the correct criteria.

You're correct though, it is close to a crime area (south of Gravois and east a few blocks), but I would invest there.

You can try to ride the wave a little while longer, but my gut says we are due a market correction coming soon. 

I don't want to think the firm we chose is doing this, but they certainly don't have strong incentives to do things fast, and I'm paying them to correct their own omissions/errors of the inexperienced engineer who were assigned on our project.So as you can see, I did my homework in choosing a local, reputable firm, who does lots of business with the city, and still ran into such an issue.

Did you give the correct notice?

@Travelle Mason When I inspect houses I explain to my clients that each inspection item will fit into 1 of 3 categories:Issues that a big problem NOW and need to be corrected nowIssues that aren't causing a problem yet, but could cause big problems later if not addressedSmall items that really aren't that big of a deal (like @Brian Pulaski said)Home inspectors must assume that their clients want to know about every single defect. 

So if the investors want to hold the money in the LLC account before a purchase that will not change anything correct?
