Please rethink. Ken is right on. Even if you have put up earnest money, don't let your passion overcome good sense. There may be good reasons not to buy the property. And, if there is, you should know now, not as your hair turns grey. After all, you shouldn't be the skinned cat.
There are other properties out there, trust me.
I just analyzed a lake for a man on property outside Terrell, Texas. Old lake, near the road, surrounded by lotus. Land was overpriced, and he chose not to buy.
