I suggest just take a few days, I've been there,many issues, including a roofing job that I should have replaced but was semi-scammed and convinced to patch up and spent about 6K for that and still have a roof that probably will need to be replaced in a few years, it's infuriating but your best defense is knowledge, start networking in your area, try to join your local FB investor group and post any questions you have there; we have a local FB group in my area and that's gold. 

This may look like its a slow process, but from my perspective, this is boht an offensive and defensive move.

in (partial) defense of the folks with the current issues... it's how they have been trained and raised though too, right? 

Sometimes it’s defense too.

More often it's just a train-wreck waiting to happen.The biggest hurdle (other than the potential liability, including defense costs when things go south, regardless of what the seller would sign off on prior to or at settlement) is the requirement that HOI (hazard insurance) continues to protect the lender and owner. 

I will chime in here in defense of @Engelo Rumora and @Dominique Osbourne.

The economy here in Huntsville is driven by a mix of private and public industry sectors including aerospace, defense, technology, and education.

There are several reasons why the Emerald Coast may prosper with its economy and real estate market:Location: The Emerald Coast is situated in an area of natural beauty, with pristine beaches and a warm climate, which makes it attractive to tourists and retirees.Diversification: The region's economy is diversified, with a mix of industries such as tourism, defense, and healthcare.

(Though I anticipated many defensive comments from people who cannot accept the reality that there are nuance layers of tax law).

Also not sure why you need to get so defensive at something that wasn’t specifically directed at you.
