Since there is no approval on the second mortgage, you technically do not have an enforceable contract (all said assuming standard SS addendum is used - nor am I an attorney nor do I play one on TV or the internet).

The flipping Boston guys have been made into TV personalities.

Before I try to help you with your questions, know that I am not a lawyer, real estate agent, property manager, neurosurgeon, blah blah blah, nor do I play any of those on TV!

I have a situation developing that I need advice on.Single family home, lease is expiring, tenant is scheduled to move out end of this month.I didn't even advertise online, just put a for rent sign in the yard last week and already have 5 people called me expressing interest to rent.I called tenant and spoke to him to schedule a move out inspection, where he would also surrender his keys, I will need his new physical address, and I reminded him about turning off water, electric, cable TV etc...He said no problem, BUT...the fireworks and his boat will need another week or two.He has parked a sailboat on the property.

Also not to mention besides only watching sports on tv, my tv would stay stuck on HGTV.

This is one of those deal that i don't even have to pull out my calculator to see how much is the return before i buy.Unlike what you see on the TV show where they they chew each other head off at the court house to buy property, or have a team of 20 people show up to gut down the crappy house and put in fancy stuff.

Gurus charge about $1,500 for weekend 1, $5,000 for the next course, and $25,000+ if you want to ride around on a bus with a has-been reality TV star.   

A Tv, garbage, boxes of stuff, no furniture, some tools, etc.
