Mediation is the primary mechanism for resolution though some select items can be brought directly into probate-- (mechanics lien, foreclosures) none of which are at play right now. 

I have a great relationship with the section 8 office and find that they are really helpful in mediating issues between the tenants and management. 

@Chis AnenWe don't do a lot of this because most of our offers are cash, as is - so there's not a lot of other levers.That said, if you're asking for contingencies, you can do things like:offer A is with seller providing no remediation of tree impinging on propertyoffer B is with seller providing remediation of tree impinging on propertyThe thing I'd advice (we have more experience on the seller side of a transaction when things were asked for) is that if you do ask a seller to re-mediate something be very specific on what your expectations for quality are.

They will also likely ask for a remediation report showing that the home was professionally re mediated of mold or properly dried out.  

Some highlights include:• Multiple degrees - I recently completed a dual Masters program focused on Business Leadership and Dispute Resolution •Professional property management experience •Detailed oriented•Trained Mediator with experience in Landlord-Tenant, Neighbor-Neighbor, Small Business disputes• 5 years of Project Management experiencePlease feel free to connect with me to see if an opportunity exists to work together!

I mean really you have a few options U found it but you did not close .. refuse to close and or renegotiate.. its not like you have a bunch of damages.. if you are using an agent an they are standard MLS forms you probably have a mandatory mediation clause that U can invoke if you want to spend money.. at that point you can have lawyer.. but the closing lawyers what are they going to do about this other than tell you . if you don't like it don't buy it  LOL  

In Ohio they can ask for mediation as well which if approved will get a new plan which they could fail then restart the process, then at the end most likely file BK.

The property is now in foreclosure and I've applied for mediation to take over the property.

We have been given a new 30 days.We started by looking at mediation through the local real estate association and calling a lawyer, but when our agent informed the seller's agent of the situation, he responded "just send us the list and we'll get it paid for."

With 8% allowable annual rent increase or 21% every 2 years at the time, we should be able to catch up with fair market rent within a few short years while it made the mediator/arbitrator's job much easier as we were being reasonable.2) With the elimination of the debt pass through in 2017, we changed our acquisition strategy to buildings with vacant units.
