I have no sympathy for the suspects/terrorists, but as you mentioned there was another person living there so the landlord had no right to allow third parties in there. 

If they give you any indication of Confedrate/racist sympathies then pass on them.

You potentially owe the tenant triple the amount of all the rent she has ever paid you, plus all of her moving expenses, plus thousands of dollars in fines from the city, plus having to have significant renovation work done and eventually inspected by the city.As a firefighter, I have little sympathy if that is indeed the case.

I read you're attending IU- please accept my deepest sympathies.

I would say that working in a renown agency would be a good idea: you have the prestige of the firm to help you convince people.Finally don't be afraid because once you have overcome the first impression they have about you, your age is an advantage: people will have sympathy for you very quickly, you can built good relationship!

@Adam Drummond:@Michael WoodwardFirstly thanks for all the very helpful replies.Just to clarify, when viewing the foreclosure I was pre-occupied with the possibility of spending almost all of my life`s savings on this house so I wasn`t too interested in delving into the legal aspects of signing the form (it was `x`ed in about 6 or 7 places for me to sign),  and at that point I saw mildew all along a basement floor so I knew I wouldn`t be making an offer, again i`m not looking for sympathy as in hindsight I should have read it thoroughly first but I genuinely thought that it was just `par for the course` here and would only come into effect if I made an offer on that house.  

Especially when you tell the judge that you've bought and sold real estate before -- a professional house flipper isn't going to get much sympathy for not doing his due diligence.Again, this is your fault. 

If someone gave me two hot checks then my sympathy for them would be greatly affected.  

I don't have sympathy for people that choose to do business without professional help in industries that typically have professionals assisting clients. 

By that point the magistrate has little to no sympathy for the tenant.
