I found a foreclosure listing that shows the attorney for the defendant.

To avoid getting sued, be sure you can demonstrate what (non-discriminatory thing) made one better than the other When you deny an applicant, document and store the reasoning to defend yourself later if you need to When an applicant is approved, verbally let them know and they are approved, you need to require a deposit within 24 hours of the tenant being accepted.

Houses are one of the biggest most personal items anyone owns, I would be certain what you plan to do there are no issues with it, and no matter what anyone here tells you, only an attorney (who would be there to defend you should the issue arise) will have any skin in the game giving you the truth.

You want to talk about sophistication on these forums, yet you are defending someone who is trying to go out of their way to piss someone off by using raw sewage. 

If you document properly with pictures and/or video, it should be clear to a casual observer whether the damage is caused by "ordinary wear-and-tear" or by abuse/neglect.In every case, I personally consider whether I'm able to defend my charges in court.

The lease is a contract and it has to be respected and defended (guess who does which).

Sale shall be for not less than 2/3 of the difference between the value of the real estate, as appraised, and the amount remaining on the mortgage of the Defendant, Bank.

If you obtain a property as an individual, you are at risk of being named in any lawsuit and would have to defend all of your assets including personal whereas in an LLC, the risk is insulated to the LLC itself. 

Example:  If there is a lawsuit against the property and you are named, your clients policy would defend you in court as an "Additional Insured of the policy".Hope that helps. 

I've often seen situations where the Borrower/Defendant claims the foreclosure did not extinguish their interest in the property and they are entitled to remain in the property.
