Did they make a bad decision or choice?

I'd be more worried about the unstable foundation than the bad appraisal.

Still, not a bad deal.

I'm not sure I believe it's going to be that bad but I don't know much about it at all and would like to get an idea of what kind of real impact we're talking about here.

It has a pool which is in pretty bad shape.

There are lots of bad contractors out there...hopefully this isn't too much of a surprise...Make sure you protect yourself upfront:1.

One really bad deal, delays, prolonged holding on the market while you pay taxes, Ins., and mortgage can really hurt.

It is not good or bad - it just is.PS - we work for a good many of the REIs in town and our bread-and-butter is the HO, so we have a lot of experience in this area.

Anyway, I went in yesterday morning and discovered that the shelf in the cupboard next to the sink is badly bowed from fluid damage.

Would you suggest I try again with a letter to the same list (law of repitition) or should I make an assumption that my list is bad and go out and buy a new list of absentee homeowners?
