[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 976184, member: 14661"] I think I'd put in a written "as is where is" offer for what you'd like to pay with at least a 90 day chance for her to counter-offer but the longer the better for a lowball offer. If there are liabilities such as underground fuel tanks or water storage ponds that are not up to code you can word the offer so that she understands that those will mean less money in her pocket if she asks for more money from someone else. As it stands, you're walking away. If you at least make an official offer then you have a chance. You can even make upkeep on her property after the sale a condition to sweeten the pot if you have to. I bought a bunch of property from an older gentleman and I saved a ton of money simply by handling EVERYTHING for him. It took a while for him to figure it out and he had a few better offers in the mean time from a monetary standpoint but in the end what he wanted was to not worry about it and have the ground go to someone he trusted and I've given him that complete with continueing contacts with certain people who had treated him well. Don't be scared to make a firm offer. The worst that can happen is she'll say no and as it stands now you've done that to yourself. [/QUOTE]
