Except any local overriding requirements, you should be able to bring up to code by:1) putting a regular wire nut on each end of the rid wire instead of the electrical tape 2) bonding the metal box to the ground wire through either a screw or a ground wire clip.

If the market is anything like mine, it is literally nuts right now.

Filing for a dispossessory due to failure to pay rent is a different kettle of fish than a termination of a lease. 

When they have extra staff, they will start going after smaller fish. 

I know there's fishing and fun to be had at South Padre Island, and I've seen online that the food in the RGV is amazing.

I am in a similar situation in that I have a decent income however, noT much cash as my primary mortgage is a big nut to pay.

So when all the hungry fish come arguing feeding them is best....... 

Too many stories of how the buyer lost their cash in the deal and the deed was forced back to the owner, should the owner hire a crafty attorney and charge you with fraud, misleading the seller, blablabla all non-sense, and all solved by only doing creative deals where the owner/occupants move out prioor to closing.If I guess corrrectly; this guy is a nut, wishful thinking and you should make a written offer,  based on him moving out prior to closing.  

Then I read other posts on here explaining that whole sellers already have a selected group of buyers who they sell to and don't waste time on the **smaller fish.

I love to fish and It would be really cool to be able to visit my brother and stay in a house right next door.
