This story is HUGE but I'll try to keep it brief.June 2019 a woman signs a 12 month contract that says she must get electric and gas in her own name prior to move it and no one except her can occupy the unit (she breaks all 3 of those)Unknown to me - the man now squatting moves in with the former tenantJuly 20, 2020 she suddenly has a huge amount of cash and pays over 5 months back rent - never pays rent again after this dayJuly 23, 2020 booked for a crimeFeb 2020 person moves into cabin next door and somehow put wrong cabin electric meter in their nameNov, 2020 she's jailedMay 2021 my dad arrives and slowly starts realizing the scope of the problemJuly 2, 2021 I arriveJuly we get Real Estate One to be property managers starting Aug 1, REO agent meets with 2 current tenants and gets them on new contracts, REO makes a deal with squatter, he agrees, he never shows up to the REO officeAug 9 post 7 day notice due to non paymentAug 16 court house says can't because COVID, try 30 day notice to quit - post thatAug 17 hand 30 day notice to quit to squatter (had to bang on his door at 7:15a to catch him as he'd been hiding from me for 2 weeks)Aug 19 figure out squatter's cable is in the name of jailed tenant's daughter who lives 2 counties away with her legal guardian (yet Spectrum refuses to cancel service)Aug 20 figure out the electric meter mix up. next door unit moved out in June yet was still be charged electric. why?

It was an out of state closing, when I arrived to close, my attorney still don't have the approval.

Some people arrive without knowing how to use sit-down toilets, even, or else being offended by them, so they squat on top of the toilets, anyway, and that doesn't end well. 

Yes, I'm wondering how they arrived at those numbers. 

A new roof today that costs $6k to replace (probably more in 30 yrs), but you can either budget $16.67 every month for 30 yrs, or budget $100/mo for 5 years prior to needing replaced, or hope to have the cash available when the inevitable day arrives.

Last week we attempted to close a wholesale deal in San Antonio but we were not able to proceed because we couldn't guarantee that our wet signature would arrive within 24- 48 hours. 

I'd go early open up doors etc, and when she arrives I'd ask her to walkthrough herself and do as mentioned above.

My agent told me that when she arrived outside on morning of 9/4, he was seen through the basement window cleaning up as much as he can. 

I am leaning towards one over the other three due to prompt and respectful communication, arriving on time and following directions for the showing, nice personality etc.

Has anyone heard of any potential ways to give back to the New Orleans community once we all arrive.
