Prove yourself as a reliable tenant and work with them and more of their portfolio.

There's reward in distress, but if you don't have the time $$ or energy for that, then looking via a RE agent for MLS properties that only need $10k worth of rehab is the way to go!

Speed, convenience, trust, and reliability of pursuing their goals with a trusted advisor.That's it for today.

About a month later (early March), the seller provided screenshots of the amount due for each bill but not the full utility bills that would have detailed the energy usage.

but also, keep in mind that as much as SF would appeal to buyers, there's really been an uptick in trying to force it down sellers' throats. it's not for everyone. whether we agree with his logic or not, if he doesn't want to SF, he doesn't want to SF. it's a good tool to have in your toolkit, but don't waste energy trying to force it.
