You should really shoot for a lower LTV than the banks will lend at.

I'm sticking to my original offer which I found fair considering the work that needs to be done and since the listing agent didn't 'reject' it.Am I shooting myself in the foot?

I would shoot closer to 65-70% as a target, as I believe 75% is too tight unless the neighborhood, DOM support paying a higher %.

This got a lot of offers on the table and things can then shoot up above their previous reduction.

Most contractors will not shoot you straight with that info, but if there is a warranty it doesn't really matter because they will shim it when it moves anyways (provided they remain in business).Some considerations if you take the house:Keep the perimeter soils moist with a soaker hose.

Shoot me an email sometime.As far as the battles between wholesalers go, it accomplishes nothing.

Shoot me a PM - Thanks.Btw (to those who might have been interested), the ticket was sold and is no longer available.

If the contract works out and I'm heading that way, I'll shoot you a msg.

So I will be shooting for a firesale/bidding war (fingers crossed).

Also if you're around Eastern WA feel free to shoot me an email.
