My lender is interested in seeing the rent rolls and the trailing 12 expenses, we are interested in seeing the units and making an offer, but I'm at a standstill now. 

How was this resolved and is there a paper trail to back it up?

If there is any paper trail whatsoever, to be safe, you should not just take it without confirming its considered abandoned.

I have read a few posts on other sites that leave me wondering about vacay rental agreements. I've seen landlords get stuck with a chargeback on CC deposits and rents for various reasons.Some have suggested a landlord...

Are these articles using leading indicators or trailing indicators?

I will do what you said Colleen and give so many day to comply, starting my paper trail.

It's a great town, but I would say an older demographic, more money, more families, more owners/less renters.Manchester is a great option, especially for young professionals - lots to do, restaurants, bars, walking trails, easy access to Hartford and the suburban towns that host lots of farmers markets and outdoor activities. 

Keep in mind that if they don't provide trailing bank statements, there is a chance that the current owner put non-qualified renters in at higher than normal rents on month-to-month leases to make the numbers appear better...

(HOWEVER, DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK or print it out BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST CREATING A PAPER TRAIL IN QUICKBOOKS. 

I always email to leave a trail.
