Surely he/she should be burning a hole in getting that fixed.

Don't burn bridges so soon in your tenancy.Govern yourself accordingly. 

A conversation that was scheduled for 30 min turned into a well rounded intelligent conversation on Lease Option, Wholesaling, Subject-to , Jim Rohn, and being a "Transaction Engineer".  

Along the way in my engineering and management career I have picked up two condos.  

i agree with frank. the numbers look good. of course it will cost a great deal more for any structural repairs needed, which is definitely a factor in the purchase price. coming from the point of view of a home inspector, as i am, i find it unusual that the second floor slopes but not the first floor. if there is a foundation issue, the first floor will slope in parallel with the second, as the second floor is built on the first which is built on the foundation. i would say you likely have a structural issue with the frame work of the second floor, which may also be evident in the roof line. regardless, it warrants having a structural engineer look at it and factor any additional costs into your purchasing offer. 

Most hired hands are going to burn out fast after they have to chew out a misbehaving sub the third or fourth time.Let me give you an idea from my perspective -We are a design build firm and handle projects including plans, design, permit, material logistics, payroll, book-keeping, ground/assembly management, scheduling, rescheduling, vendor management, quality control/assurance, and every other aspect of construction.We typically have about 5 'ground active' jobs, and 5-7 more in the hopper in some phase of planning, design, or permitting.To accomplish this, we have a meager staff of 2 designers (one of whom is a 20 year architectural veteran), a full time office manager, a full time site manager, a helper who splits time between being a carpenter's assistant and a gopher for materials, and someone who does scheduling and material takeoffs.

That could be a busy street, burned out or abandoned houses in the neighborhood, railroad tracks, industrial areas, steep hill/driveway, near the interstate, next to a graveyard, funky layout, high ceilings, etc...

They would rather I churn and burn more loans than gripe over a percent or two

If that is the case you are going to have to find either a structural engineer or a Foundation company that jacks up slabs and walls replacing the cracked blocks .

Doesn't sound all that attractive, but at least you haven't burned a bringe or ruined your name by bailing on a deal - which is really important for investors3.
