I'll be going back to take a look at the second unit tomorrow if the tenant will cooperate. 

There is great networking and cooperation.

A home includes a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, house trailer, boat, or similar property that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities.

you fix the place up and rerent ASAP to mitigate damages. any damages are paid from security deposit and a statement as such is mailed out in compliance with your local regulations. then, if your new tenant does not come in until april, you bill old tenant for any days unit was vacant. assuming they paid march rent on time, if you rerent in march, you have to refund any days not vacant. you cannot collect double rent. in the meantime, tell tenant now that you understand his problems and want to do everything possible to keep it from negatively effecting him, however, he has signed a legally binding lease, and if he does not pay april rent, you will file for eviction, which will stay on his record for 7 years. his best option is to help you get a new tenant in there before april 1...no harm no foul. his next steps need to be cooperating with you so you can get handymen in there to assess damage and plan for turnover. tenant can also make sure everything is as clean as possible, as soon as possible. in no way shape or form should you let tenant repaint or even consider repairing anything. that should only be done by your people. honestly, he is only leaving one month early, and leaving mid month gives you more time to rehab and get somebody in there by april 1. if he left last day of april, you would most likely experience a one month vacancy. this may be a blessing in disguise, so use it to get someone in for april 1.

The culture at KW is so much more collaberative and I am used to cooperating and helping - if I see how agents are backstabing each other in some firms its crazy! 

Without the seller's cooperation and providing receipts, there is no way to know what went into the property.

I tried to work things out with the owner but like I said before the owner does not want to cooperate.

Is it possible with cooperation from the estate (son and whoever) to pay back what the owner received on the rev mortgage and get clear title on the property?                                      

Hey @Brandon Cooper !

Unless the seller cooperates, talking to the bank is useless.
