Now stopping to help the disabled guy in a wreck a couple miles from my house and finding out that the other car abandoned when we called the cops had a meth lab stashed in the trunk means you can't only be worried about war zone neighborhoods.

I really need to get that car first thing.

Granite Shopping is like car shopping, each dealer has different color options  and prices (which vary widely).

Just don't come across like a money hungry shark, too many people lose deals because they feel more like a used car salesman than someone who is interested in helping.Being that he is an older investor treat him like you would your own grandfather and if he likes you, it would certainly help your chances of getting an opportunity to purchase his other properties.

(A Security Deed transfers an ownership interest to the Bank in order to Secure their interest in the property—an analogy is a car title where you and the Bank own the secured item together).

Ever see a car deal take a car back and then start driving it as his own car?

But if you're really concerned make the purchase contingent on an inspection by a structural engineer.

Most of the older homes were over engineered however they also are more likely to have been abused meaning too many layers of siding or roofing or crappy electrical or plumbing splices here and there.

Purple bedsheets for curtains, clothes scattered about the yard, endless visitors on bikes or cars that stay less than 5 minutes or several that just hangout.

I have it ether in my handbag or in my car locked when we are out.
