I am doing a rehab and the interior doors and trim are stained brown and are in decent condition.

We have found that putting an eyelet for the discharge hose into the drain line keeps the discharge hose from coming halfway out the drain line from the pressure and prevents leaks.If your washer is on the upper floors and not ground level it is a good idea to have a drain pan or a drain in the floor that is tied into the drain pipe for the discharge hose.Some tenants have older washers and when they go out the water is known to go everywhere.

When I visit to make repairs I have been noticing the stains and wear from three kids running around my unit all day.

Probably best to max this out as it won't prevent me from jumping on another should it come my way.

Does it prevent someone from excercising a claim even though they apparently have no ownership at the time but if something should appear they have lost the right because they gave it to you like in a quit claim deed, or does it infere you have some ownership interest, or does it warrant that you have no interest?

That could be another good out to prevent having to go through eviction hearings.

Here's a good link from the BP archives:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/40854-cost-effective-termite-prevention-strategy-

Additionally, foreclosure levels were affected by our directive to servicers to delay foreclosure sales until the loan servicer verifies that the borrower is ineligible for a HAMP modification and that all other home retention and foreclosure prevention alternatives have been exhausted.

There have been some poorly done rehabs in the neighborhood I am working in and unfortunately anything can qualify as remodeled...including homes with stained carpet and 12 broken windows...ugh!

Toni,It's a little unclear to me if you're buying or selling.If you're buying, many banks/government entities have various periods of time ranging from 15-30 days in which only owner-occupants can buy the property.If you're selling, the bank you bought it from cannot do anything to prevent you from selling for any amount at any time unless you agreed to it in their addenda.
