The estoppel does prevent the seller from giving you less than what he is stating there, so you should be getting the $900 as they signed to.

I was looking up a potential lead and on the tax assessor's site under "Land Class" was the phrase "Encumbered or restricted by easements".Would this prevent me from getting it under contract? 

Does he know that will prevent your home from having utilities? 

I'd say the reason investors don't CYA is that they don't know, it's just another aspect of not knowing what can go wrong and not knowing how to address measures to prevent future problems.

It just sets on top of the tank top and prevents major tank rock and gives you a nice surface to place items on.

Allowing me time to "safely" do my due diligence with the prevention of contractors I work with to go around me.Now i typically don't do option agreements with everyone... only stubborn sellers that aren't sure what they want for their property.

Well I think I kind of hit the jackpot...One month into a new rental purchase, I have to bite the bullet for a new roof, a subterranean termite treatment and a drywood termite fumigation.Property has a flat roof, traditional 2 ply asphalt, with multiple patching over the years, I know the roof is near the end of it's life, and may even been living on borrowed time.When we inspected the property there was just so much leaves on the roof, that it was holding up a "mat" of leaves sitting there for years and with the south florida rain and sun, those leaves have turned into compost. 

Based on the inspection, I had parts replaced to prevent leaks and water damage.

Is there anything preventing me from doing conventional financing from a bank to purchase this?
