I don't want to just accept that.  

This realtor was very helpful, but when I went to make my first offer, it was requested that I sign an Exclusive Buyer Brokerage Agreement.

Purchase is subject to Buyer's review and written acceptance of final results of survey; of any lot-line adjustment/s, easement/s, and/or other agreements with adjacent property owners; and of the finalized property boundaries once any changes are completed.

I don't really have any evidence that they new about the leaks accept that I noticed the leaks for the first time after there was heavy rain within 2 months of buying the house, but now 11 months have passed since I purchased the house.If I was going to go forward with this I would just get a quote from a contractor on how much it would cost to fix it and bring that to court as the amount that I want to collect in damages.

@Jay Baxter please accept my apologies for the delay in replying!

The price will be very low to reflect the condition and the land itself is likely worth more than what I will accept.  

During the day, I'm an attorney, and my firm almost exclusively works for health care clients.

But, we have a hard and fast rule of not accepting applications if the eviction falls withing 3 years.

Many of my offers aren't accepted but enough are.

Sec 121 of the code is the primary residence exclusion that says that if you have lived in the house for 2 out of the previous 5 years (24 months out of 60) prior to sale you can exempt the first 250K of gain (500K if married) gain tax free.
