I'm thinking about offering 27k, i figure it's worth about 60k-70kShould I feel guilty that I'm double dipping on this address?

Glad this was all worked out as it's something that I feel guilty about as I didn't understand before. 

And yet over a year period I spent about 8k in CAPEX and maintenance taking care of deferred maintenance -- bad plumbing sections, new water heater, new oven, new fridge, repair of another oven, two new toilets, two new sinks, replacing the upstairs bath completely...I mean the list goes on and on.So I plead with you...do something right in this process and get yourself out to this house with a local person who can act in YOUR best interest. 

Its not like they are calling and texting pleading to let them finish the work they promised to do per the contract. the 10k check is in the joint name of myself and  the mortgage company.

Then you attend the hearing and further plead your case.

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

A lawyer can plead it down to a level 5 misdemeanor.   

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

I was guilty of that for years as well.
