I'd get in touch with a good real estate attorney you trust.

I don't want put all my energy into chasing the money, so I understand to trust the process. 

As an out of state investor all we can expect is communication since we are trusting the process 100%.The delay in closing was also probably controllable since it was their tenant to remove.

I'm also not sure that a new high school across the street will translate into better than average appreciation, but if you know that market, I'll trust you on that....

What was the catalyst that took your yellow letters to the next level?

I have a trusted foundation company that I've worked with in the past so I'll have them come out, take a look, and work their bid into my numbers.Ben, I believe the differential in price is based on the type of repair and often on the warranty the foundation company will offer. 

Typically rising market, property taxes, interest rates...Somewhat depends on your income level too.

It will probably depend the level of the seller's motivation that might have an effect on the price you get. 

On your first meeting, just try to establish trust and build on the relationship.
