I don't want to reveal info yet because I'm trying to pull some information for the authorities. 

However, municipalities that do require such inspections must issue a Use and Occupancy Certificate, prior to the date of purchase, in the following manner:1) USE AND OCCUPANCY PERMIT: If no property maintenance or other code violations are found, a Use and Occupancy Certificate must be issued allowing the property to be used or occupied as intended.2) TEMPORARY USE AND OCCUPANCY PERMIT: If the municipal inspection reveals at least one violation, but no substantial violations (see definition below), the municipality shall issue a Temporary Use and Occupancy Certificate.

I've had a couple strange inquiries come through AirBNB recently.One was from a woman who wanted to rent my place for 3+ months, only paying one month at a time, and requested that I block off future months so that no one else could book my rental.Another was from a gentleman who identified himself as a traveling medical professional and wanted to book my rental outside of AirBNB, then reveals how he's cash-strapped because of a family matter, yada yada...I declined both.

It's revealed that the tenants were in cahoots with a former receptionist at the PM and they had brought crying kids in with them to contest their(my) posting a NTV.

I had an online title search done that revealed 4 other liens.  

Kinda crazy how such a simple thing could reveal even a fairly sophisticated fraud. 

All will be revealed ;-)

The day before closing you’re told that some detail of the property previously undisclosed was revealed in the appraisal, and although the lender rather not make the loan, they feel bad for you, so they’re willing to make the loan at 14% interest and 6 points, at 60% LTV.Most times these unethical characters try to cover themselves legally by having ‘subject to’ language in their loan approval letter, as in subject to a satisfactory appraisal, subject to no change in market rate of interest, etc.  

@Wayne Brooks Great, what about if the title abstract revealed there was a lien on it from the state?

AFAIK, the only way lending instiutions will actually give PAYOFF amounts is throught the loan holder and a title search won't reveal it.my guess is they are giving you the equity "estimates" based on what therecorded loan amounts are at the register of deeds...thats how it works in NC anyway...
