Thanks everyone for the input. I sprayed them both with Murphys Oil soap diluted with water - hope that was the right thing to do. My county extension service said the treatment for mites was to spray with "horticultural soap," which I could buy at Lowe's or make my own. So I used Murphy's since I had read about others' using it. I have nothing to lose since they are quickly on their way out. I thought mites was a problem that the west coast/dry climates had to deal with and that it was not an issue in an extremely humid environment! Well, we'll see what happens. If I can salvage just one of them I will be happy. Oh, I think I could see the tiniest of specks on the undersides of leaves which came off when sprayed. If they were mites, they were really hard to see (didn't have a strong magnifying glass). And I see webs all the time, but thought thay was just spiders since they're everywhere. (I still wonder if there will be a worm in the tomato when I cut it open!) :-)

Well, I sure agree with you. The whole blurb is "off putting". I never did anyting like that as a work-out officer for a bank. I guess times are different now...there's just so darn many of these foreclosures. Yeah, I'd guess it means just what you suggested...the bank will choose the title company. They're probably getting a discount by the dozen! ;) /tricia

Thanks everyone, I was thinking maybe it's not buildable. We'll have to go and see it but at that price y'all are probably right. 5 acres goes anywhere from 30,000. to 60,000 depending on the area. So yeah 6,000 makes since. Could make a good shooting range if nothing else! LOL I've included one of the three listings for you to take a look. Here is a link that might be useful: linky

It could mean "Mother-Daughter"....some municipalities allow a home to be a two family dwelling in terms of separate living quarters only if it is occupied by family members...in other words...it is often (but not always) restricted from being rented out .....it is designed to allow extended family members to live in the same dwellingÂwith privacy. Most M-DÂs have the lion's share of the house as one unitÂand a much smaller portion as the second unitÂ...either as a small studio apartment or a one bedroomÂand may or may not have a separate entrance. As these homes appear to be single family, my bet is on the mother/daughter configuration...they are very popular in NY and NJ.
