I put in an offer 10,000 below list price.They accept the offer.Bank tells me there is termite damage.I tell them to pay for it or I walk.They reject my offer.I walk away.Two days later they call me back and tell me they will pay for termite damage,but the price is now 5,000 below list price.I agree.The appraisal comes in 30,000 below list price.Bank agrees to appraised price.I get the house.
The escrow took four months and was a pain in my ass,but I got the house.
