The tenants are using the FHA/HUD laws to circumvent the normal requirements.I knew about the ADA laws and have had tenants in wheel chairs/blind/deaf that truly needed a trained, certified dog, to help them with their daily functions.

Looking for confirmation here so I don't blindly trust.

Well there are 2 ways you can accomplish this. 1) The mortal way... blindly blast mailers out periodically/continuously so that homeowners will get mailers thrown in their face when they do not want to sell, and when they eventually want to sell they still get mailers sent out.

From having bought my own house already, I have basic knowledge in the VA loan process (including working with real estate agents, loan officers, and inspectors), some rehabs (putting up drywall, patching up concrete foundations, installing blinds, etc...) and regular maintenance.

I went to the house today, the outside looked great, some of the blinds were open and the inside seemed tidy enough.

Either folks are overly optimistic, blind to the market, can hold forever, or just bullish on high end LV RE staying firm and recovering despite everything going on.

Moral of the story I guess, is you can't do too much due diligence, don't be blinded by your eagerness to get started, no question is stupid unless not asked, and for goodness sake, know your property lines!

This is obviously a sensitive situation that I don't want to go into blindly.

We've had expensive plantation blinds used as a chew toy, lawns ruined, doors replaced due to excessive scratching, and cat odor can get out of hand - some of these were found during routine inspections (and a few could have been prevented with more frequent inspections).We don't do pet deposits (deposit implies refundable) - we do nonrefundable pet fees and pet rent. 

The whole turn on lights and adjust blinds for optimal daylight.
