What would be a reasonable discount request on a property looking at structural foundation repairs to include some re-grading to prevent repeat issues, potential mold treatment, window replacement (total 20 windows).I believe in being fair to both seller and myself and I keep hearing and reading (as I went online and started researching this as I wait to get inspection report), I keep hearing that in this market most homes will have some kind of foundation issues and that should not be a deal breaker.What other advice would you give.I do like the home, it has great curb appeal, but I believe in the say, “A home without a foundation is not a home”, so I do want to be careful not to be taking on a home that will leave me stuck with a hefty bill.I plan on continuing to do my research throughout the day as we wait on the inspection report and will eagerly also await any comments that group members can offer to help me make my decision before 12midnight tonight.I hate to lose this home, but I also hate to take a risk that may leave me with a hefty bill down the line.Any comments will be appreciated, good, bad, ugly…… brutal honesty, I will take it all with gratitude.Thanks.

The buyer is signing a purchase agreement with me, and she wants me to do seller financing for 50% of the purchase price. 

I owe 125K on a seller carryback at 7% interest with an upcoming ballon payment.

Also you have to realize that at the higher price, appraisals can swing WILDLY.on a 90k house, if it appraises 5% over or under, thats like 5 grand. 

According to seller's disclosure statement no awareness of any of the two.

My problem is that two weeks before my contract is up i cant get ahold of the seller and the key that was left for me magically disappeared.

Depends what kind of product you're looking for.This is pretty normal in commercial real estate where new agents are on the phone all day calling sellers back to back to see if they'd like to sell. 

Finally heard back from my realtor last night that the sellers received a competing offer over the weekend.

Hi Biggerpocket Communities ,I have been wanting jumping into this deal, but before I do i would like to ask advise on local or Arlington experts.2314 bamboo DR Arlington texas 760061 bedroom condo for 78k, and with taxes and HOA about $200 per month, seller say I can get rent about 850 a month.sounds like good deal to me. any local people can advise to me regarding location and if is true I can get that much rent for a one bedrom about 500 square feet?

If so, what are some tactics I can use to convince the seller to lower his asking price and win him over?
