Hi Bryan L please don't make the same mistake we did by listening to Steve Haight he referred us to a Linda Labbe that totally scammed us for a property in ohio that was supposed to be totally rehabbed a year ago it is still not inhabitable.

If something happens to a complex building that made some, or a lot of the units inhabitable, are you going to have money to invest in fixing it?

Owner occupants do not inhabit war zones. 

Is the home inhabitable but simply outdated?

I included in additional clause "Tenant acknowledged that even though they will not physically inhabit the home until they return from deployment (after the lease effective date) they are still responsible for the terms and provisions in this agreement."

So, a lot of times we need to educate the owner and let them know that there are certain things that legally they are responsible for and very simply if they are making the house unsafe or inhabitable by not fixing something, they could be possibly in violation of the tenant’s rights and the property code.Lastly, I have seen owners that violate Fair Housing Laws.

IF I'm able to find that out, how to approach the institution and show them that the property that was in livable condition when they made the loan is now in a deteriorated and inhabitable state where the amount of work needed to get it back to livable standards is significant, hence I'll take the property off your hands but it's going to be well below market value and you are going to be losing a lot of money.

A flip is taking something that's not inhabitable, and making it livable.

They can attest to her sweet nature and the fact that she's not a barker or a nuisance in any way.Michael, I did think of offering to let the landlord(s) in to view the property while we're inhabiting the rental.

Banks aren't going to lend on property that is not inhabitable.
