I visited and it's a great little town with a lot of history, proud people and a lot going on.

The truth is, there are big holes in her history/current situation and I don't know if I can trust her.

I am currently screening tenants for my rental apartment, a few of them have good credit score (above 700) but their credit history is only 0.5-1 year old.  

They do not show if the deceased individual owned a house.When I get the basic probate information, I start to drill down into obituary listings and real estate income tax records to determine if there is a house and whether a spouse might still be living there, as well as to glean some basic information about the administrator, i.e. is that person a son or daughter, a distant relative, etc.  

@Michael Watts some title companies will insure title with 3 years of rental history but no quiet title.

After an application is received (which is after more rounds of pre-screening) I'd look into something like a deeper check into credit and address history as mentioned above @Carrie Albertson.

what is her payment  history like?

The landlord won't return her calls for months now (she major septic issues and had to pay out of pocket, amongst other things), has blocked her daughter on fb & she doesn't know what to do.

I grew up there, so I have some familiarity with certain neighborhoods.I don't have a lot of capital, but I have an extremely excellent financial history with a high credit score and very low DTI.Time to wrap up, don't want this post to get too long.I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you on the site, and here's hoping I can make this work with your help.Thanks,- Ray

Something that started with this a couple of years ago (my house on the right)Has turned into the removal of the fence separating the two properties (by the owner of the truck) which leaves me losing the foot of space between the privacy fence and the boundary fence.Mitigating circumstances - the guy that owns the truck has a history of violent crime (kidnapping, sexual assault on a child, assaulting a police officer, etc., etc.) and my interactions with him have resulted in schizophrenic ramblings (i.e. the Vatican owns my property, all financial transactions are routed through the city of London, etc.)I spoke with an attorney from this forum (a terrific help) earlier this week and I am weighing my options...the best being a 4 foot retaining wall along the property line with a 6 foot permitted fence to the front of the house.
