I really can't see how that would be a problem unless management doesn't like fishing. So to speak.

Well, that's a shame, some properties in some markets are just a tough sell.

Maybe you outta shudda got rid of some of those old Mopar cars in your front yard, before you put it on the market -

Oh, like half the neighborhood being foreclosed? Or the next door house selling for a song because the entire second floor and basement both flooded horribly after the "owners" just walked away? Comps aren't always valid...
Our first offer would have been an 80% loss... Took a year.

On inspections... Our front stoop really was rotted out badly. But evidently changing lightbulbs is hard. And the roof, we'd have had to call in a roofer since it was too high for the inspector (sorta wish we had, as it was installed wrong and we had to replace it after it kept having sections tear off in the wind)
