Marie Poe says here.Only thing I would add is that we train our CFK folks to do the following:1) Make contact as a wage earning employee representing a small group of investors (this curbs their likely disdain for large banking institutions).2) Try to get to the root of their problems before demanding they leave or offering money.3) Try to offer assistance instead of money (moving van, able bodied workers).4) Try to offer less money instead of more money.5) Follow up diligently to ensure any CFK agreement is adhered to strictly.6) (As others have suggested) Concurrently file initial UD action along with the CFK negotiation, so you are able to carry a big stick while also speaking softly.If you're able to do all of these things, you should be pretty successful in occupant disposition.

I live in an area where tons of houses end up with roots in their underground pipes.One pipe has had recurring problems and Roto Rooter is suggesting installation of an outdoor clean-out (since the house's current one is small and insufficient).It involves excavation and the RR guy says that, unfortunately, he's not 100% sure whether the problem pipe is inside the house's footing (under the house) or outside the footing (and accessible with an excavator).

I have also learned (after 100+ real estate transactions) that GREED is very bad, and the root of bad decisions and bad deals.Good luck to you always!

A little rubberized concrete crack caulk and some paint and it will look good as new.Don't leave them unrepaired though depending on your location water may get in and freeze and or plants may root themselves in the cracks and make them worse over time.
