Some initial teething issues because in the hood they assume you are a slum landlord and they have to fight for everything. 

We are in the process of fighting it, with good reason to do so, yet it shows on our credit report.

Thats what I see most of the time.You are not doing something wrong you are trying to protect yourself and to avoid any title problems in the future.Basically you are buying the property that simple.I'd call the county clerk and ask about which site to use to search the records...that way you can do your own search not saying professionally but at least sometime you can find some liens on any property interested in like labor liens, child support, abstract judgments...etc could save you some time and $$$ by filtering your targeted properties before doing the title search through title abstractor.Some times I offer the former owners some time to leave like few weeks so I dont need to pay them alot and get them sign a short term lease with zero rent with waving their rights to fight any eviction and giving me the right to get the writ of possession right a way once the short term lease ends without giving them any eviction notice.Hope that helps.Good luck to all

However, I have seen first hand what can happen when a tenant digs in and fights all the way up to the point of the sheriff removing them from the property.

I have a 650 and lenders are fighting to get my business for a cash out.

So you are saying you think its better, to buy the house directly with the listing agent, let them double dip, when you know full well they wont fight for your needs, rights, and price...? 

If they wish to fight it, you should notify the city of your intent to appeal.

Not sure if anyone here has tried to buy a property here in Vegas in the last 6 months, but its an absolute fight for every single property that hits the market under 300k..  

Just make conversation, these folks have no dog in the fight they will tell you the truth.

If the spouse fights the foreclosure, costs will go up.
