Oh...These are M2M leases, so I can terminate prior to closing.

I trust most active landlords have heard of the April 4, 2016 "Office of General Counsel Guidance on Application of Fair Housing Act Standards to the Use of Criminal Records by Providers of Housing and Real Estate-Related Transactions" For those of you who have read the guidance, what "policies and practices" have you put in place for specific prior criminal behavior?

Prior to passing, Mom had subdivided her original property into a front lot with the main house on it, and the back lot with her little "retirement cabin" on it. 

Did either of you have any Real Estate experience prior?

Comparing to what?

I think having access to the MLS would really help because from what I understand there are a lot of tools you can utilize like seeing average days on market, seeing comparable sales, and a lot more I'm sure.

How many properties do you all own fully compared to leverage/finance?

I did feel angry with myself for not doing more due diligence prior to travelling but learned a good lesson.

So we are in the process of getting the lien release voided, and figured I would also reach out the prior servicer, which is still in business, to see the payment history, as my research showed they modified the loan in October, 2010, and they both signed it, so she was back on the hook, and they stopped paying in June of 2012, 19 payments later, so I figured unless she won the lottery, she did not pay it off. 

However, it would take 3 to 4 years to recover the likely $6000 shed cost at the $300/month savings compared to renting a room.
