@Patricia Andriolo-BullYour attorney is probably correct as you most likely will spend more than $6k to defend the claimIf I were you though I would thoroughly read through their claims and start putting together a response.The other thing to consider is for the money you withheld, did you actually perform the repairs and keep invoices or was it what you thought the cost was?

Also, IMO background checks are not very thorough--- the only way to really know someone's history is by checking the court websites.   

I appreciate the thorough response and I gained tons of knowledge from your response.

I would just make sure your SEC attorney is explaining it very thoroughly to you. 

They were thorough and easy to work with.

Only legal advice should be given by a licensed attorney familiar with the subject aspect of law; licensed in the state in question, and only after thoroughly researching case history.In GENERAL, transfer strategies done “after the fact” do not work, because they are considered “fraudulent transfers” .Here’s some free advice ; walk away from legal entanglements that (1) suck your time (2) you have no experience or ability to confidently predict the outcome (3) require significant investment in time and legal fees (4) have, at best, an unclear path to providing profit to yourself. 

I use a bigger pockets application form which I found pretty thorough. 

A huge disappointment on my part - I should have been more thorough, but again that’s why I hired a professional home inspector as I am not a professional with these matters.Have any other BP members dealt with on going water issues that were not disclosed during a sale?

-find an inspector who is thorough and trustworthy, and who is willing to answer many questions.

I get the feeling that some people don't even bother to read it thoroughly.
