They know the rules and can help you navigate the system.

When you are more experienced then you probably will be able to navigate through these issues and handle then in a more informed manner but you are not there yet.I do agree, that some felons have paid their debt to society and we all deserve second chances, however this is your investment, and your business.  

To save you some navigation, here is the link specifically for new apartments in Pocitos:http://inmuebles.mercadolibre.com.uy/apartamentos/..... .

If this price helps solve your seller's problem and you didn't do 4 rounds of Korean-style negotiations to get them there, I would do it.  

I'm helping some investors navigate their way out of some really bad investments in Polk County.
