"sub tropical" we could go down in May or September wihtout our Maine blood boiling in our veins!

If it's owner finance try to negotiate a few months of debt service for free.This will give you time to turn over the property and fix the problems and increase cash flow until it's stabilized.If an owner is desperate enough you would be surprised at what they will agree to.I can tell you if the owner is slow to respond for request for info than the situation is probably WORSE then they are reporting initially.They want to sugar coat it so you don't run away.Many sellers get a fantasy that if they sugar coat it and they make it to closing then they can get lucky and get close to the price they want and not take a blood bath.Keep the seller engaged but tell them you can only pay XXXX.When they say but this property generates Y then say "I asked for you to provide info which you gave no info or PARTIAL info only.Since I can't fully validate what you are telling me with complete and hard data I have to price in the risk for the unknown"This will force them to provide the data or come clean with other problems.You tell them I am still interested but not at that price with the problems listed.If they balk give them your card and wait.Investing is like a relationship.Easy to get into but very hard to get out of and usually it takes longer than expected and is really painful.For eviction I would take a day and go to your local eviction court.You can learn by listening to the tenants and landlords go at it and what the judge thinks.What I learned is that I thought "Have my day in court and be real specific as to why I am evicting them etc."
