Refresh the listing and attempt to draw more attention.

With repeated practice you can become very good at almost anything thanks to the internet at a much significant price reduction(it’s a lot of misinformation out here but you have to sort though it) that’s why government is attempting to put restrictions on the usage of internet(LOL). 

This is all theoretical as the lender that mentioned this didn't commit to it on paper and I have yet to attempt it. 

Is that your tenant's attempt to  document neglect for future litigation? 

The owner is attempting to sell it without an agent, and it will be sold soon.

I know how buying a house for a primary residence can become an emotional decision which increases the amount a person is willing to pay... but with attempting to pick up a long-term buy and hold, at least in my experience, the profitably is largely determined at purchase (and of course subsequent to this, proper tenant screening and management of the property).

I am assuming the lender does the foreclosure properly....serves, or attempts to serve, “the estate of....”.

The landlord can then go to the neighbor and attempt to get it paid back to him.

I'll be attempting this later tonight.

If you really want to pursue this I would attempt to get photos of the unit prior to when that tenant moved in (from the PM or the former owner - or at the very least a checklist the tenant signed noting any damages when they moved in).
