@susan @Susan Little I agree about staying away from foreclosures as they can hide some nasty surprises from costly unexpected repairs to undisclosed liens.  

There is no secret hiding place for investment properties sometimes they are found on MLS, craigslist, FSBOs, direct mail campaigns etc.

I never, not ever just take the money and run and hide somewhere looking for a sucker, never.

No sense in starting a fight to show a (probably) gross unit.But they may be hiding something, so I would do an inspection.

Do we send certified mail to our rental to see if it would get forward since I'm thinking this would have their forwarding address.It appears they are purposely trying to hide and run from their responsibilities and they probably know we can't just go walking on base to look fo them.So I want to file a small claims even though the max is $10k, lower total damages but still a ton of money we are out even if we do get a judgement. 

Some of the people you dupe into believing that you're going to buy their house and then screw over by reneging on the contract are going to have friends who do unreasonable things like find out where you live and hide out in the bushes near your car with lengths of steel pipe and degenerate pygophiliac designs.

Seems a bit much given that most areas (carpet, beds, and couches) where bed bugs hide are being removed.

Settlement date of the original contract said 9/15.A couple days later we (title company) received a $10 check made out to the seller.On or about 9/1 the  assignor threatened to back out of the deal unless my client closed before 9/5.Please identify the moron in this scenario.do the wholesalers in your area that are getting paid on the HUDS.. actually show up at your office to pick up a check or do you direct deposit for them.. or have a courier hand deliver ???? 

Thanks.New drywall ceiling:-1 coat of Kilz original primer, 1 coat of Behr Premium primer + paint flat white ceiling paint Kitchen plastic sheet walls:-1 or 2 coat of Kilz original primer to hide the pattern on the plastic ?

Be VERY diligent in your due diligence and make sure all his numbers (especially is expenses because sellers love to hide their expenses) make sense.
