Seller's disclosure stated a 500 gallon propane tank was the source of gas service

We put in an offer on land above asking price. We have found issues on the sellers disclosure such as not having previous soil tests done, but the county (and now I) have copies of a soil test under the sellers name from when they bought the property. As well as stating there is no known septic on the property, but we located a septic tank with a hole punched in the top covered by a rock, although it did not look it use. This tank is located five feet from their camper that they have had on the property for over a year, so it's extremely unlikely they don't know it's there.

On the sellers disclosure, they listed that the land has gas service, and then lists the source as a 500 gallon tank. They recently listed their camper that was set on the land for sale, and stated that the propane tank was also for sale.

Since the tank was listed as a source of gas on the land, does that not mean it's included with the sale?

We love the land, so these items are not exactly deal breakers. But I wanted to gather others opinions on the situation as it seems dishonest to us.

Our realtor was told by her broker that it's a loophole. Since the tank is not attached to a house, it's considered personal property.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?
