Like the other posters have mentioned the credit score / credit report is likely an issue - with what you describe there certainly seems to be some stuff missing for it to be that low - but on the flip side, it could be a situation where professional credit repair could make a relatively quick big improvement.

Here's what comes to mind for me- Documentation is key: Gather all relevant documents, including permits, inspection reports, and the county record of the septic system installation.- Consult with a real estate attorney: While you're right that legal fees could exceed $6k, a consultation could provide valuable insights on your liability and options.- Review your insurance policies: Check if your flip insurance or any other policies might cover this type of situation.- Communicate with the county: Try to negotiate with the county officials.

Plus you can report on the people even to the limit of getting their sec8 status removed so the treat the property well so they can keep their section 8. 

I suppose one method would be to use seller reported figures but that wouldn't be prudent for many obvious reasons. 

QBO isn't "REI-specific" but we use it for all of our Clients and prefer it due to its superior reporting features and integration capabilities. 

We do not suspect foul play because apparently that tenant's relatives have reported to the remaining tenants that the MIA tenant has moved in with another relative (but did not give that MIA tenant's new contact information).
