I love achievements like yours, especially when you humbly acknowledge it was not something you did alone ... it provesGod always answers knee-mail...:)

Get him to acknowledge it in writing or send the notice via certified mail if you think he won't acknowledge it.

The contract that I have is quite explicit about that matter and requires the seller to acknowledge those risks and to not hold me liable.

I just completed a HUD package and an addendum was included to acknowledge that the sales price was above HUDs appraised value even through mine was well below.

Many contracts have clauses like, "for good and value consideration, the sufficiency of which is hearby acknowledged" or some such.

It's already 6/15, school starts back up around 8/25, so to me the best way to win the war is to try to get him to move out quick so you have a shot at renting to the folks with kids wanting to move before the next school year starts.Personally I'd approach it along the lines of "it sounds like there was a bit of a misunderstanding [don't acknowledge fault] with the PM, maybe we can chat and see if we can come up with something that works for both of us".

Even you acknowledge you have a large backlog of deferred maintenance.

Just like you acknowledged in your first comment you left out the wiring and plumbing.....and other info.

Step one is to find an owner who wants to sell but can't. first get him to accept and acknowledge his problem and then suggest a solution.

I did acknowledge it was a weird thing :-).
