Welcome.If you're in IT, then you know it would take a 12 year old kid about 2 minutes to "uncover" your ownership.PO Box, Yes.

It's your job to uncover that before you rent to them.  

My uncovered patio is almost unusable for several months.

Section 8.My question is: Now that I've had the inspection and uncovered ~$15k of repairs that will be needed over the next year or two what would you say is a fair purchase price for the size house, area and fact that there is a tenant already living there? 

Not sure on who legally owns this... as it seems no inspection uncovered it when purchasing.

They are hiding and it is my job to learn how to uncover these deals through research, becoming a problem solver and beating a new path to sellers.Good luck, I hope my words are helpful.

It also helps uncover sellers faking expenses, When you have 20 similar properties to compare with.

You do open walls to uncover hidden problems, you do have issues with inspectors, you do go over budget, and it does take longer than you think to rehab.

In just a few minutes, someone with knowledge and experience has uncovered the truth from a thousand plus miles away.

A lot of times if you uncover something major, you are helping yourself by putting them on notice because then the agent, if it's listed, has to inform the seller and they know about an issue and must adapt to that, meaning everyone else will find the same thing.
