This is where you show your solution to their problem.  

If there is any liability it's minimal, as they are inspecting and not certifying the property.There could be natural springs and if so I can understand why the buyers would back out.You might need a soil scientist to look at it and if he/she agrees with the inspector than see what the solution is. 

Simple solution move into the house. 

I just met with the buyer and they are satisfied with the solution.  

My family owns a tree maintnece company and I have skilled labor that will help me if I BBQ.

Instead of the offer being just about exchanging a certain number of dollars for a house, it becomes a solution for a problem and makes it much more powerful.

It's the only solution to my current problem unfortunately.  

Because a seller is somewhat familiar with what a Rent To Own is, they are more apt to consider it as a solution to their problems.

Search the web for the Virginia Hardest Hit Fund and do some research and contact them to see if it is a possible solution to cure any default
