Renters want to be excited when walking a unit to potentially.

If the house burns down, we'll just take the insurance payout, payoff the mortgage, pocket the rest, sell the bare dirt for ~nothing, and walk away.

Even if you have to visit $1k for a day trip, go and walk the area, meet the PM/Realtor/contractor in person. 

For example, on a conventional loan, you have to wait 12 months from when you purchased the property to use the NEW value to walk away with cash in hand. 

It would also be wise to have a reputable roofing contractor who has been in business for several years walk the roof and give you an estimate.

Happy to walk you through the regulations.

Is this normal for this amount of money or do I just need to walk away and look elsewhere?

He then Entered through the open door and kept on screaming "come to the door" and went inside and started walking the property while smoking. i immediately called the police and they came within 2 minutes and gave him just a warning and left.

It would have to be really bad, probably foundation related for me to just up and walk.

So I would do what you can to scrape up the money to get legal help OR if your name is on the properties then drop the price to sell them so they cover the mortgage amount and walk away.Look at it from the perspective of what is it going to cost you to litigate versus just get out now?
