Unsold properties went on the Alabama Department of Revenue inventory, where they could be purchased over the counter.

The drain pipes were fitted into the main clay pipe and concrete was poured around the edge of it to seal it.

Not sure what happened (eg glass vase fell off a counter when jackhammering was done) or the value of the item, but the contractor said tenant's stuff should be fine and clearly it wasn't. 

Did you submit your counter offer via email or postal mail? 

There were cups and bowls drying on the counter next to the sink.

She already caused the pipes to freeze and burst twice.

We removed 4 walks (including load baring), installed 2 walls, added half bath, replaced all plumbing and electrical, added new eye brow porch, painted full exterior (changed color), replaced all flooring, new bathroom and kitchen layout with everything replaced (shower, cabinets/vanity, counter, appliances, etc), stocked with new furniture, added mini split, removed gas/wood fireplace and added a new electrical fireplace, and placed initial STR tenant in 2 months and 1 week.  

Also looking to hear from anybody who has thoughts on the rental market in close proximity to major universities - I recognize the challenge of college students and the sometimes problematic care and need for repairs (that is why I am hoping to target the graduate/PhD/Med student population who might be less-centered on partying and more centered on academics and being responsible...pipe dream?

Counter the objection to you earning income on finding them a secondary buyer in advance, not later when the deal fails because you withheld information or lied.

Another example would be a tenant goes on vacation in the winter and heater breaks and freezes the pipes, because the tenant was on vacation or not home its not their fault.
