I believe the information regarding the number of donors and money raised needed to be removed as there were discrepancies between what was actually sitting in the bank and how much capital was committed. 

When we double checked his measurement with our LASER tape measure, we knew something was up and called him back to go over the discrepancy.  

I think that is where the money is to be made, in the discrepancies of this price curve.Not to mention as your property ages, wear and tear increases in a non linear fashion, the cost to repair can really eat up the returns.

With such a huge discrepancy, I'm trying to brainstorm some options ahead of schedule.

I stand by the fact that the huge discrepancy between the judgment amount and the property value coupled with a borrower lack of action on over 100k of equity should've raised mayor redflags....starting with the loss mitigation department.  

The biggest issue would be if LA County had to do an inspection on the place for something you were doing for the property and they saw this discrepancy and asked you to permit it.

Most of the time they will try and clear any title discrepancies before they list them.  

Texting is a written record in case of discrepancy (extremely useful), parties can respond at their own convenience, not play phone tag, no handwriting or garbled voicemail involved. 

Then I come back the next day and ask her to send a letter (certified mail) describing the answers to the same questions - and this will provide me with any discrepencies if her memory fails her. 

The way I see it,  I agree with everyone so far regarding the discrepancy between the contract and the addendum.This is how I would view it.The addendum trumps the contract, however, the emails trump the addendum.I would make your stance very clear in your email and let them respond to them, then you can sign the contract with fair certainty that you will be protected by the email chain evidence.After you get the contract signed, ask the title company for a new copy of the title commitment and present them with the email chain with your very specific requests and their response.
