It's very hard to see a stranger in "your" house not taking care of it as you would.

What that means in short, if there was a termite issue, the likelihood of your insurance carrier paying out on that claim could be slim to none; however, stranger things have happened, and all policies can (and do) tend to vary - carrier to carrier.Good luck with the property, Anthony.

I love working with strangers because I don't have to worry about "hurting" there feelings!

My dad says he first noticed it when there was a random stranger mowing the lawn, when he asked the guy why he was at our house mowing the lawn the guy said "The kid paid me $10 to mow it".  

I'm also introverted so randomly chatting it up with strangers about a topic I don't feel I have much knowledge on sounds like a nightmare lol. 

So your dad had known this property for 25 years and has "pleaded" with you not to buy it.He probably knows the property better than anyone but here you are asking strangers for their advice?????

@Kase Knochenhauer @Whitney Hutten I appreciate the feedback but I was hoping to have more of an experience with strangers.

We are like friends now, and I managed to restore faith in strangers for these folks who had been treated so poorly by their family but so respectfully by a complete stranger.

Although this will be my first one, I am no stranger to the process (I have several years experience in carpentry/construction and I'm a numbers guy with OCD).As I mentioned earlier, I a have limited cash reserves but I make up for it with intangibles and a will to succeed.

Im not sure but if a birdie just happened to tell her to change the locks herself and to notify the landlord in a letter with new keyse that she lost her keys or that they were stolen and she had no time to spare for fear of a stranger having them, the landlord would be clear from locking anyone out.
