I'm a little concerned that I might be biting off more than I can chew with the negotiation aspect as I haven't a clue what I'm up against.

I read Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad last November, and I'm currently chewing through Cashflow Quadrant now.

Anything for me chew on?

Chewing door frames or clawing at doors would not be expected and therefor not normal wear and tear.

After the second one vacated I was at the house on a Sunday morning and got my *** chewed out by a little old lady on her way to church because of the condition that the tenant left the property in.  

@Jason Branum, it does sound like you might be biting off more than you're ready to chew and I advise extreme caution since a mistake with a deal this size could hurt you very bad.One thing you should ask yourself is "Why have I gotten this opportunity?"

The tradeoff is getting good advice and not missing something that will chew up your all-cash purchase.I have many good title company contacts in Texas if you need a referral.

The only time toilets are missing are if the foreclosure was on a "think i can" investor that bit off more than they could chew.

Ask them to please send you a copy of the paperwork because you don't have any and then you and they can work together to correct the situation, and by the way how did you attempt to contact me in the past, I would like to know if someone failed to forward my mail to me and caused this situation so I can chew them out.

But, be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew, and make sure you doublecheck your numbers, then doublecheck them about 6 more times.I've been doing this for almost 30 years so I'm not a virgin.
