Breach of warranty of habitability - tenant's remedies(1) If there is a breach of the warranty of habitability as set forth in section 38-12-503 (2), the following provisions shall apply:(a) Upon no less than ten and no more than thirty days written notice to the landlord specifying the condition alleged to breach the warranty of habitability and giving the landlord five business days from the receipt of the written notice to remedy the breach, a tenant may terminate the rental agreement by surrendering possession of the dwelling unit.

Usually no more than the allowed 43-45% back end ratio.

Of the little marketing I've done so far just about all the responses I've received have been from absentee landlords of properties with tenants who will either finance no more than 70-80% if at all and won't take as little as my cash offer.But what else can I do with these sellers?

No more contact between you and the tenants.

This property, even when fixed-up, could not sell for no more than $375K in that area btw as it is a strange unique property.

Preferred age of unit is no more than 40-50 years.

They all said "There is no more delays, it's impossible to find anything" 24 hours later my business partner locked in a 4plex for $585k which is worth $975k right now.

Sorry profit if flip 25kThen (MAO) no more than 40k

Still, it might be worthwhile to bid on the property if all the liens that stay and the winning bid add up to no more than 50% of the FMV before fix up.  

I don't want to be too far out in the sticks but no more than a 30-45min drive from shopping areas.
