I did have the chance to meet the lady but at the time I wasn't thinking all of this!

A car rolls up, It was a lady who owned the house at the end of the street.

A lady on biggerpockets forum told me 15%.

Seller is supposed to be motivated, but the current tenants aren't allowing anyone access to the property for the lady 3 months.

For sanity check, I just typed in the name of the applicant in www.masscourts.org, then BAM, the lady had an eviction like 3 years ago.Now, I am pretty nervous about using the service.

The main lady who handles Maricopa County (VICKY) is out for one month.

Things like this just tick me off. government and big business taking advantage of the little guy. and in this poor lady's case she was most likely chosen at random to make an example of.

The bf/gf downstairs were yelling and fighthing and lady upstairs was constantly complaining about them.

I would carry my Sig P220 on those days but soon realized that didn't protect the ladies in my office when I was out running errands so we stopped taking it.

That is fine, because it means they realized this sweet little old lady is no push over, and I do not "work with" tenants, or they realized they really could not afford the apartment.
