@jeff m did you check out the place and see if the pet is causing any damage?

Nobody has yet mentioned that the sub-floor can be the cause of the squeaking.

This has caused people not to complain about small problems like drips under the sink.

They are colder in the winter, which either cause high utility bills, or tenant discomfort, and both influence tenants to leave. 

Imagine how long (ahem) “waste” can sit in these spots and work through the pipe— and as soon as it starts, it gets a literal pocket where water & waste sits ALL the time (‘cause there’s a dip in the pipe that holds water and waste.)

@Sandy Blanton Thank you, I'm sure there was a lot that went on behind the scenes that I was unaware of, I think because of how many deals had fell through on this place before caused a lot of tension.

I saw an Inman article on people taking out mortgages against their homes in order to buy bitcoin - somewhat of an inverse transaction.Securities regulator Joseph Borg caused a firestorm of warnings when, earlier this week, he told CNBC that people were taking out mortgages to buy bitcoin.

If there are ones that meet the rule they will likely be purchased for 5-15% over asking causing it to no longer meet the rule. 

Just make sure to talk to your managing broker if you are related to the seller as this can cause a conflict where you would not be able to represent the buyer as a transaction broker, but instead as a customer. 

Typically you are not able to inspect and then back out for cause without losing your SUBSTANTIAL EMD.
