I don't know if you ever resolved this situation.

I was 40 years and 7 months in August of 2016 when we closed on this building:The price was right, the location is great, and it had a lot going for it including:1) The prior owner had put very high end furnaces in fairly recently.2) The siding, windows, and doors were all 5 years old.3) Handicap accessibility to the two largest offices.4) Parking for 20 in a town that has very little parking.There were some issues to resolve, however:1) The roof in the picture is the new roof that we had put on.2) The building was vacant.

Procrastination is a destroyer of destiny and we all fall prey to it...I resolved this by DOING IT NOW and not LATER...and it has helped me a lot...

And they're demanding that you fork over $X without explaining the nature of the problem and what steps they took to resolve it.Sounds kind of hinky to me.

All code violations attached to this property have been resolved.

You might want to contact Douglas Rutherford himself and see if it's compatible.

We can have hard conversations sharing problems so that we can resolve things quickly and move forward.

In order to resolve this issue and not miss opportunities, my husband and I are focusing in partnerships with other couples in Philadelphia who have similar goals.

If you don't have an official contract, I would add a contingency for the owner to resolve this issue.How much would removing the roof and reducing the size cost?  

Needless to say, if we couldn't resolve this amicably with all parties involved, I would also be serving the 10-day Notice to Comply, to bring the tenant back into compliance with the rental agreement.Don't remove the co-signer unless the tenants can qualify to rent the unit on their own.
