From what I can tell, they do a fine job.

Let's say an owner disconnected service voluntarily and even has proof they paid a final bill, they often won't realize charges are still accruing - especially if the bill isn't going to the correct address (I'll save my rant on the administrative incompetence of utility companies for another thread).

You live in 1, rent out the rest, but its still owner-occupied by you.From an insurance perspective, you walk a fine-line.

I submitted an LOI, We had a final call with the seller.

Hi BP,So there's a house 4 doors down from my inlaws, it's a fine C neighborhood.

Once you see everyone has approved in accella, you will get kicked into a final "plan coordination" step, that takes another handful of days it seems.

I'm having my contractor go out there today to walk through with a fine tooth comb to get an exact rehab estimate.

Seller is very motivated and I hope we'll come to a final decision in the AM.Any advice, words of wisdom would be much appreciated. 

It’s a fine line between someone who will think outside-the-box, and someone who’s full of it.

You may want to consult an attorney or run a fine tooth comb over their lease and find a way to terminate the lease.
