I'd rather not give them any reason to claim I cut off anything prematurely, if internet can be construed as a utility provided, albeit only orally as a courtesy before their default and breach.Is there any recent precedence (or in absence, law) established in California courts yet regarding tenants provided with internet but abuse (ie, transfer of copyrighted material) resulting in it being shut down by the provider (Verizon) altogether and to everyone not just the violator?

Doesn't seem like house was properly completed and your original inspection was premature.

But from where I sit any doomsday talk is premature.

If it had been an older stand of lumber quality trees the harvester would have paid for the wood and done it all at once because of the value.If they're another type of tree they may have value as landscaping trees(Oak, Holly, Birch, Sycamore, Sweet Gum) and you might be able to get a nursery out to dig them all for sale as landscaping trees.That may be something that to consider as well is find a nursery that would like to lease the property for a tree farm.

I feel like it would help to have a name/pitch (even if my portfolio is yet to see its first property) for networking/approaching investors/sellers, but can't tell if it'd be premature and confusing.Thanks

You have the guy at the mall chewing gum, the sleazy guy at the car lot, or some highly successful corporate salesperson.  

Is the pet appropriate to the unit leased, is there some small child next door, is it a house in a rural area, case by case decision.A four year old Doberman or a 12 year old Doberman that gums is special diet dog food?

Court confirmation would have ensued and legal publication and competitive bids made your original offer wishful thinking.Had you bulletproofed your deal with a performance trust deed or mortgage, you might have been in a much stronger position to protect your position and complete your acquisition.Had you purchased the beneficial interest from at least 51% of heirs/beneficiaries you'd be in a commanding position, maybe even boot the existing PR and replace with a 3rd party fiduciary who'd be paid all statutory and extraordinary fees.Your best defense now is to hire an attorney who threatens (bug does not execute) a lis Pendens clouding title and gumming up the works while you figure out a plan B.If yo don't have the stomach for lawsuits or you live in a small community, I suggest you consider the risk/reward of this opportunity.

@Timothy Meuse A 14 day notice would have been premature as you discovered.

He tells me there's a problem with the water quality there that causes seals in toilets(think the flapper) and other such seals to fail prematurely.
