I did not do any physical improvements to the property but I did spend many hours with engineers and city planners defining exactly what could be built on the lot and with what modifications (like soil retention, drainage, engineering requirements, etc.)

Here in Canada, legislation around both privacy and UCE would necessitate you honour any request to remove someone from your distribution list.The law aside, it would be the ethical thing to do as well.

It was already under contract and we would have had to do additional disclosures that would necessitate us amending or re-writing the contract.

Just going to share yet another ironic observation of mine:To reply, (as the owner of a rental property) having a 3D Virtual Tour with Professional Floor Plans does many things all for the price of one media package:3D Virtual Tours can dramatically increase the efficiency of property management in many ways.For rentals, the marketing media is entirely recyclable.Unlike a home for sale, the same virtual tour, images, and floor plans can be used once a tenant moves out;remote access to information about a property without having to visit the locationtours can be tailored (with tags and image tags) to meet the needs of rental properties, including detailed information about various "hidden" facts, like circut breaker panels & details,  installed appliance details, documented feature conditions (flooring, windows, carpets, walls, lighting fixtures, etc), and more.our tours include an "On-Screen Measurement Tool" that can be used remotely to measure aspects of property elements remotely;Used as an initial step in the SHOWING process:manager can easily SHOW a currently occupied property online without the need to schedule with an existing tennant;can save the manager valuable time if the home doesn't meet the prospects' needs;gives the prospect more information about a rental than still photos;if a prospect reviews the virtual tour and is still interested, you have a more serious prospect;As-Is Property Documentation can be used as evidence in rental conflicts or litigations, especially when it comes to damaged property;We also offer Construction Snapshot Views for rehabs or new construction; the ability for a property manager or contractor to review what is behind the drywall can be critical to making repairs or modifications;Laser-Accurate Measurements, Square Footage calculations, and Professionally Drafted Floor PlansMore than sufficient evidence if you are challenged with a SqFt dispute;Floor Plans make it easier to rent a home because it makes it easier for the prospect to make a decision;As-Built Floor Plans and Measurements are invaluable to any contractor and construction project;Tours can be assembled into a Catalog, essentially giving you a portfolio of properties to present for various reasons;There are more benefits than I can imagine. 

You should probably know that before closing.That no modifications, verbal or in writing have been made to the lease.When the lease went into affect and when it expires.If the tenant has paid any rents in advance and how much.Any rent concessions given by the landlord and how much.Whether the tenant is or is not in default of the terms of the lease.Whether the landlord is or is not in default of the terms of the lease.Any additional provisions or other agreements between tenants and landlord.In Colorado, there is a standard Estoppel Statement that folks can use and if you're buying a property with a tenant and using the correct state issued income contract, it has deadline dates and a section about estoppel statements already included.

If very underwater, get a lease option conditioned on getting a loan modification.

Regarding the lease: if the banks would work with borrowers in doing loan modifications, people would have have to resort to such arrangements.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good loan modification company.

You'll likely loose a tenant if she has to keep paying late fees, when all that is needed is a small modification to the rental agreement to make it easier for you to get all of the rent.Now, to your point, if the tenant was a pain to deal with, I'd be much less flexible.

I've tried the loan modification process where they strung me along for close to 18 months only to "LOSE" my file.
