@Brandon M.just thought i would update. so I got a call from the sellers agent today. says seller is "still too emotionally attached to the home", he said he thought the offer was reasonable based on the amount of work needed.

There is a mother in law unit, which we got a permit from the seller, but there is an unpermitted 1bed/1bath in the garage, which we are willing to have removed if the loan would be approved.The MIL unit is currently rented with the lease ending 10/31, so if need be we can ask the seller to have the tenant vacate at that time..I don't know what to do, I just emailed the loan officer back that there is a permit for the MIL unit, which I attached to the email and also an addendum for sellers credit for the unpermitted work (the garage) which we were planning to demolish once we purchased the house.

I'm unsure how these are typically attached to the wall.

Make your offer for $xyz with no strings attached...What escape clauses?  

My Goal is to have a property that is very, very low maintenance and all major items are less than 10 years old. attached is cash flow & a few pics of the house. its not a big 2%er like were supposed to search for, I have yet to see that golden egg in good areas in my town.

Well, it's not as easy as I though because everything is for 1/2" or 3/4" pipes, but the old one screwed onto a 1 1/4" adapter that's attached to the end of the pipe.Does anyone know where I can get a diverter tub faucet that will fit?

I would just remind you not to get too attached to the property and if they numbers do not work for you then move on to the next deal.

Attached is a quote I received from my current agent.  

So, if you get the first position mortgage, then you want to foreclose to extinguish the junior liens from being attached to the property. 

We just started using Square Cash (Square, the company that does the little card reader attachment for smartphones).
