I really like the idea of owning this property because it is in a nice location, I can collaborate with my Dad's beach house in case any renter needed additional rooms or wants to rent out 2 houses next to each other (my Dad said he would rent his place out too) , decent sized lawn on the property, and the house needs to be fixed up on the interior (wood paneling/new dry wall, old carpets, out dated furniture, and older appliances).

we topped in 2006 and fell until 2012 soil she bought in 2007 then she might be close to break even depending on the local market.  

The termite company said there was moisture (they did the moisture reading after they sprayed a whole can of foam, not sure if it matters) in the wall so it wasn't covered because there was no visible trace of termites on the soil outside (there is a brick privacy wall that butts up to the house). 

Now, the seller's agent is simply not returning any correspondence, leaving me little option.Per the CAR contract - it's pretty cut-and-dry about pursuing small claims court, and without good faith reasons -they can be liable for treble (triple) damages as well as legal fees incurred on my end.It's not a huge sum of money, but given that it's mine, and that the seller will be liable for legal fees associated - I'd like to talk to a lawyer to make sure I'm proceeding correctly.

Can I request soil samples?

We put the stain in a small handheld paint sprayer,   And he put a coat of stain on the bricks while I followed behind with a dry towel, wiping any drips.

I wouldn't say it's drying out but priced wrong.

This house will need a new roof, which i'm estimating at around 10k, and it will need some foundation work (hooray Texas soil), which I'm also estimating around 10k?  

The washing is fine.. but it takes 3 hours to dry which waste a lot of electric

I won't go into the whole story but we lost about 200K on a franchise deal, mostly due to a lawsuit from the state that the franchise left us out to dry, so you can understand her apprehension.
