You would still have to find a property where there is that much wiggle room and the probability that you would have things go according to plan is questionable.
I wouldn’t even do that for you drunkle, even though you are still one of my favorite piggs.There are legitmate request for repairs or price reduction but what you are describing ,perhaps jokingly, is rough. That doesn’t seem like the right thing to do.
