I would think the judge is just making sure the tenant did not get taken by some slick talking wholesaler who ripped their equity..I know @Keith Jourdan  personally and I know he would never do this.. but i can see judges with all this wholesaling stuff going on.. when they get a chance and something does not smell right they may want to check it out some-more..  

I would imagine it would smell of smoke otherwise. 

on a mobile home near the Johnston county border that you could smell from 200 feet away.

The master bedroom smells so bad that I almost vomited. 

So yes, your battle is with Lenders.

Current tenants lied about smoking on their app and now the whole duplex always smells like weed.

Over the next few months, I plan to walk through my first real estate venture and the small victories and battle stories from the endeavor thus far.

The city has been battling the pollution issue but mostly been ineffective.  

I figured this would be a good time to ask what everyone else does to make showings go well as smell welcoming to perspective residents.

Worst case as a settlement with his heirs or a court battle is probable-In the absence of a will and it is not separate property, she is at least 1/2 owner of the property with any children(no idea) owning the other half.
