I had a court date and the tenant removed within 3 weeks.

Most good BRRRR value-add improvements are taking something nonfunctional or significantly distressed or dated and making it decent and more modern.

Also now I see tax certificate issued was 3 weeks before our contract start date. 

I am reviving this since the payment due date is right around the corner.

We also don't have a redemption bond, our mortgage company didn't require it and we didn't even know about it honestly when we bought the property back in 2022 (we've waited this long for mediation and a trial date). 

With every deed recorded and date last used title my GUESS is this: Dad intended for Mom to stay until she died but did not intend for Mom to get a loan on the house.

But, again, if your LES shows an ETS date of less than 12 months your current income won't be usable, unless (a) you write a letter to certify that you will reenlist and also have a commander certify that you will be eligible, or (b) you use income from a new job that you'll start near the subject property before closing.

@Tom ThomsonI am not an attorney but my 2 cents is he does not have to return your earnest money in my opinion if he can still meet the closing date on the propertyI view it as you are terminating the agreement because you don’t like the house anymore

Your Closing Date , etc. ( thus costing you more money ) ?

Only one month remains before the August 17 implementation date for the NAR settlement.
