I am coming right over .I tell him , Its done and it looks good , bring your seed and get it spread before the rains come . 

I do it all the time.There are laws surrounding what you can and can't say.You're not supposed to say you're going to help them, you can stop the foreclosure and a few other things.If you're planning to offer them cash plus pay off the final judgement order then that's absolutely fine.

Burglar you did $15,000 in damages during the burglary you are now serving time for, we are going to win a judgement against you for $15,000.  

On the advice of our attorney, we held the check and did not deposit it until after the court judgement was made in our favor.

I am still new to this and didn't have a GC I'd worked with numerous times before to be sure I trusted his ability/judgement.

Does a Special Warranty Deed mean that any previous liens, judgements against the property now become the responsibility of the new owner?

The mold is actually caused by the tenant leaving their clothes in a place that they knew water collects when there is heavy rain. 

As a contractor who is getting into Real Estate also, no judgement at all. 

Not like we get much rain lately here in CA anyway, but it's something that needs to be repaired so I don't keep fixing the same issues.

You need to get some advice on how to proceed from somebody who knows the legal landscape in your area (judges, judgements etc).
