Fully acknowledged that I'm not an architect/contractor with the credibility to make that judgement, but I consulted in person with several architects and contractors who all agreed that the addition looks at surface level well-built. 

And not just an acknowledgement that they received my email, actual research and answers, same day.

It is simply a matter of confirmation bias.Im not even arguing that prices are falling where you see them....Im acknowledging that as a possibility...but prices are rising nationally, so as @Joe Splitrock said, it is very unlikely to have 1 thing cause two separate outcomes in 2 different areas. 

However, I acknowledge that others have followed this strategy with success. 

He acknowledged the poor communication.

I've been under the impression that once the loan size was large enough (in my mind I assumed $5M, but I don't know why that number is in my head), they basically become non-recourse loans as the loaning institution acknowledges the property must be able to support itself.

No extension or acknowledgement that they will pay the missed months rent.

I acknowledge that many of the things learned in college are helpful in your life but so are the things learned on location in the field you enter.I have always been a believer that no one will ever pay you what you are worth, except you.
