The key is to follow the notification process to the letter of the law. 

Do Not do this on your own.....you're getting into the "practicing law without a license" territory.  

It is a common practice.

Took about 4 weeks and I was ready for the their practice test.  

All the numbers that in there is practically a guesstimate based on the contractors who saw the pictures that I sent him, and I also made the number large  than usual, I could be completely off, but I think I'd rather be off  bigger off too little. 

There is also extensive drywall damage (including some visible mold in one small area) due to roof leaks, some which my inspector feels are active leaks, and a septic water level warning light.I was told by the management company that an OO doesn't have an inspection period (not true) and that HUD will never do any repairs (per their handbook they can repair major--roof, electrical, plumbing, structural, septic--issues at their discretion if previously undisclosed but uncovered by OO's professional inspector and reported to HUD within 15 days, don't know about in practice). 

Notification was sent out for a rent increase of $25 each unit starting May.

So, you may think that it'll bring up the value, because there's now this extra income/tenant, but it may not, if the area can't be counted.

This case was ongoing until 3 months ago when the law firm became unreachable and practically disappeared in the middle of filing a loan modification.She was able to complete the modification independently with Nationstar, and was offered $3,800 mo. payment beginning April 1.This is too high of a payment, are they any RE attorneys which any advice or information to lower this payment and keep the house?

Still very affordable area to buy and hold or practice BRRRR and seems like it is being over looked a little.
