And that piece of mind will hopefully cure the "grass is greener" syndrome.Anyway, I'm an engineer with a few rehabs under my belt and I manage 4 units myself.  

People have a tendency to treat IT as a cure all for there business needs, its not, sharpen you business process first.

POAs seem to be the cure all gurus suggest, they are over used and employed.

As an investor, contrary to the shister thinking, you disclose your ability to cure that issue and the value that might be had if the issue was cured.

I would send the tenant on the lease a "Notice to Cure" telling them someone is living there that is not on the lease.

If so, then a reforclosure or amended foreclosure would cure it.  

(I will say, construction is tuff to show as it is seasonal and weather related and market driven, depends on what you do, but even when some work, they have cash flow issues that often leads to late payments, the cure for that is having reserves).

The best way to mitigate wasted time is to play the game -- don't offer to cure the defects, offer a reduction in price in exchange for release of the inspection contingency.

I've made a very good living out of helping others, curing problems is what I was known best for. 

Predatory lending is more in the forefront now than any time in my years, CFDs lean far to the side of a seller, primarily due to forcing a buyer to abandon title without due process but there are often other issues, such as notices of late payments, late payment amounts, notices of demand, time to cure deficiencies that may be different than accepted practice today.
