Most likely, you will need to get the brother's cooperation to get the deal done.I recently got a call from an out of state owner regarding her deceased father's house in Garden Grove.

As far as drugs, I would deal with it in a non-curable breach of contract section such as: Non-Curable Breach of Agreement: Any of the following events will be deemed a non-curable breach of this Lease; (a) Police raid upon your Premises; (b) Your arrest for possession/sale/storage of any narcotic/controlled substance/chemical or herbal contraband in or about the Premises; (c) Failure topermit Owner's entry to the Premises following receipt of adequate notice; (d) Failure to cooperate with Owner or any pest controller/fumigator/exterminator following receipt of notice of such services; (e) Defaults by you causing Owner to serve more than two notices to pay or quit, in any twelve (12) month period; (f) A misrepresentation on your Rental Application; (g) Delivery of any security door/gate key to anyone not party to this Lease.

Good luck with this seller - hope it all works out and she cooperates w/ due diligence.

They were very cooperative in showings but panicked later on and filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board (Ontario) with a list of all sorts of crazy complaints about maintenance, which we had attended to fully.

Will he cooperate and perform in initiating the probate and sale.

If you are a good investor and the economy cooperates, you can make a ton of money.

If not, you have to allow it on the roof.Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule"The rule applies to individuals who place antennas that meet size limitations on property that they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners and cooperative owners, and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna.

Landlords can indeed restrict the installation of satellite dishes to areas that are controlled by the tenant (such as the balcony) and can prohibit installations in areas not under control of the tenant (roof, exterior walls), and can prohibit drilling holes in exterior walls.From the FCC: "The rule applies to individuals who place antennas that meet size limitations on property that they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners and cooperative owners, and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna."

For the potential bidder at sale, the need to understand how to efficiently research title for loan position, senior liens, and condition of title when loan recorded becomes critical.The other obvious is is that a potential bidder does not normally have access to inspect the interior of the property being sold unless an owner-in-foreclosure cooperates (rare) or the property is vacant and entry is easy (I.e., breached door lock, etc.). 

Tenants have to make it available for showings in accordance with whatever the lease says, but don't have to be especially cooperative about it, so that's why I personally would be open to offering the small discount.
