It is certainly an abuse of power and I think the law behind it needs refinement to prevent such abuse.

The other factor was that the house had undergone some abuse like kids drawing on the walls and filthy carpet...which means unattended children.I remember when I was much younger I purchased a $3,000 living room set because I liked the painting that was hanging over.

I received a hot lead from a motivated seller who wants out of her house for the following reasons:- Seller cannot cover mortgage alone so abusive daughter lives with seller to help pay mortgage (daughter arrested for domestic abuse)- Seller is elderly and medically disabled (low income)Any advice on how to help?

She also could be from an abusive situation.  

The problem is when they abuse the trust and then becomes something else.  

as there are very few if any actual national HML  IE they lend in all 50 states.. but here are a few that lend in a lot of states.LendinghomeLima one LendingoneVisioAnchorCivic AlohaRenovo@Ian Walsh  Lends in the Nor east  PA NJ  markets and is a legit company.Just be careful of the rampant abuse of fake advance fee scams out there.. 

Use it but don’t abuse it!   

If something happens (The seller gets hit by a bus, a tree falls on the place) who do you think the renter is suing over the moving truck and the fact their kid isn't getting into college because they had to rush a rental in a bad school district?

You do not have to change your loan, yes anything you do to the hpuse in preparation for renting is a bus I was expense.

Too much room for abuse and harder to write things off on taxes.
