Yeah.
Ask what benefit is it to the seller for pocket listing them.

Bear in mind that it may be the seller and not the agent who wants them off the MLS.

I have seen that a lot lately.

I would still be diligent and look for comps.

Good luck.

Assuming you are in SD. Click on advanced search, put the owners last name in and set the filing data maybe 2 weeks back, should come up with a NOD.

I dont know what the local paper for publishing NOD is in your area but you can check the classifieds for the big local paper, the public notices section and find it there.

Fidelityasap I believe is the publishing company for ReconTrust, an account there is free. You can PM me if you want me to look up the trustee sale # there.

If that isn’t a NOD its a darn good piece of spam mail.[/quote]

If you post an address, I can look it up.

Or you can email urbanrealtor at gmail dot com.

I will treat it as confidential even though it is public record.

[quote=BGinRB]You can always present the findings and ask the seller compensate for the deficiencies you found. After all, you will have to disclose the issues when you try to sell the place and it will cost you. Some people will not purchase a house with cured structural issues.

In general, if you want to bargain you need to be ready to walk away.[/quote]

Get a quote that is sufficient and deduct it.

As said before, all in writing.

Since you are the buyer in contract there is a certain path-dependency here.

It is likely that they will credit you for it or reduce the price accordingly and not kick you out of contract.

Please do verify that your contingencies are still in effect.

Nothing is more embarrassing than asking for a problem to be addressed and having the seller or agent come back and say “sorry contingencies expired passively a week ago and we aren’t fixing anything and if you back out you lose your deposit”. I have not had it happen to me but I have been called in to help fix the situation when it has. Many times.

Good luck.

Dan: Couple of other things: (1) Militarily, we did win Vietnam. Inarguable fact in that US forces never lost a single major battle in the entire war. Vietnam was lost on the home front, not on the battle field. If you read an objective military history on Vietnam (i.e. NOTHING written by Karnow or Halberstam), you’ll realize that the Viet Cong was destroyed as an effective fighting force during the Tet Offensive of 1968 (a clear cut American victory and one that Walter Cronkite, among other American newsman, cast as an American defeat) and the North Vietnamese Army wasn’t able to mount effective operations in the field until 1972 (nearly four years later).

(2) The US Government is listening to its citizens and on a daily basis. Yes, its wonderful that the warrantless wiretapping issue has been dealt with, but what about listening programs like NSA’s Echelon and Carnivore, or SAIC’s adaptive listening software (which has helped us track down foreign al Qaeda operatives, but has been used domestically as well).

Before you start making accusations as to me stooping to some new low, read what I said and then comment accordingly.

Re Vietnam:
Like I said, there is a grain of truth in everything you said.
However, there is no sane historian that will describe our victories in southeast Asia as anything but Pyrrhic. Our allies were routed and in the end we left the country to the reds.
We were grist in the mill of a military paradigm shift. Pre-19th century style total war is something we were not ready for there and (as Gorby said) history punishes those who arrive too late.
“Viet Cong” is just a slur of vietnamese communist.
Today, this minute, as we type, ARVN troops live in Mira Mesa and Vietnamese communists live in government mansions in Saigon (which they call Ho Chi Minh City). The PRG did not die at the hands of the US military. It was merged with the North after the fall of Saigon. We left because we failed and our allies were crushed. Badly. Unwillingness to admit this puts you in Cheneyland and in need of thorazine.

Regarding Carnivore and Echelon:
I don’t give a fuck. I suppose that could change, however, if I get an email from the NSA telling me to stop torrenting Transformers or WinXP. However, that would likely mean the end of the program. Which is likely why that generally does not happen.

I don’t like American citizens being arrested for “planning” (read not acting upon) Jihad but I really don’t fret too much about the civil liberties of the guy who is stocking up on weapons and explosives.

Most importantly, we have very specific areas of confidentiality drawn out in this country. It is generally acknowledged that email is not one of those (though phone is). Wiretapping offends me but carnivore does not so much.

Re Nazis:
Yeah, I think that comparing the Obama administration to the Hitler administration is a new low. Sorry dude, it is beneath your usual level of discourse.
