Belly location will be identified today hopefully and then I will have A LOT more insight and direction (and hopefully an idea about a resolution).I do recall there were 2 incidences with the plumbing since I bought it.

About the comment about the parents getting involved:  Now you know as well as I do, if you had a daughter that just left home, that when she goes to mommy because she has a problem, and that problem is that she does not feel safe with the situation she is living in, and that person contacts you, the landlord, with illegal activity happening that any judge would allow the lease to be broken without incident, even though you could not prove it.    

Would the home warranty require a deductible of some sort or are the repair visits $0 out of pocket for covered incidents?

All minor traffic incidents many years ago (No insurance, failure to register vehicle, failure to wear seatbelt, driving without a license etc.) but solid income and no prior evictions we could see.

incidently here is an interesting article - and may just answer this - in other way.  

After that incident, bank sent an apologetic note to the owner's son...I asked the lawyer if he believes that the son (POA of his mother) can actually sell the house.

But here is one other issue - they may simply ban you or anyone with knowledge of the incident from participating in govt auction homes.  

I'm aware of one incident where a person collected on such a policy when kids set a fire next to a garage and damaged the siding.I also think the kind of policy Dan is asking about exists, though perhaps not for those of use with a few SFRs.

But when you deal with a motivated seller than you don't need one as they don't require one or don't care.Now there was one incident that I read that a motivated seller wanted a proof of funds(was just an average joe not a bank)but the wholesaler told him to shove it and moved on.

The other, she had an incident with her car, and came back to do it later.
