Why aren't they keeping it themselves?

PACE loans do take 1st position over the mortgage company so they aren't too fond of that.

Most glaring issues to me are:- DWV pipe leak- Some outlets aren't grounded in both unitsWhat are things you've seen in the past that were real causes for concern/concessions in closing the deal?

Here in UT without a significant downpayment (usually 30%+) you aren't even breaking even on any multifamily.

Too many owners fail to do this, then wonder why their expectations aren't being met.

Longer bridge loans up to 2-3 yrs aren't much more interest rate wise anymore and don't have prepayment penalties.

If they don't you should have an attorney send a demand letter (these usually aren't too expensive, especially if you write the draft and then the attorney edits it to make sure its in compliance and something they are willing to send, as some let you do). 

Those probably aren't really investment activities anyway. 

++++++++I've made the change from "Tenant Update Form" to "Tenant Estoppel Certificate" because a thought occurred to me: aren't these two documents the same thing?

In GA, you have to show the water company the code that new owners aren't responsible for past owners' bills before they drop it.
