the number 13 spot is in springfield... and it so happens that the guy's property is only 3 miles away from that dangerous st. ahhhhh... thanks anyway. no wonder the guy wants to get rid of that house.

What did you expect?
It sounded too good to be true/scammy from the beginning.

The as-is part could mean anything from

1) Owned by a bank who just doesn't want to bother with any repairs or inspections.

TO

2) This home has a lot of problems that we don't want you to find out about, and if you do, you've already signed off that we aren't responsible.

If you do go foward, insist on getting the full range of inspections done so you know what "as-is" entails.

I have no idea what Taxes Prorated 100% means. 100% makes it not a proration. Maybe they mean prorated through the day of closing, but that is normal and customary, and wouldn't need to be stated.

I just wanted to point out that in a city the size of Springfield 3 miles from the worst neighborhood could be a perfectly fine place. It's a good point that there could be crime issues, even if its not enough to make a national list. You need to find a website that has crime maps.

Not endorsing that particular deal, sounds like its flakey.
