He turned out to be a great tenant and I was sad when he moved out two months ago. 

Subject C makes me sad.  

I am sad to hear of your experience.

Once there's a specific property in mind that HAPPENS to be a good 203k fit after having preapproved you for generic FHA financing, I'd be calling you and saying "sooooo I think we're going to want to go 203k on this one or it's not going to happen..." and then I'd call your realtor to get her on board, and then I'd call the listing agent to sell them on why we are no longer going to be closing in 30 days but too bad, so sad, get over it because you and your client are still going to get paid.

It's sad that people don't trust the stock market, or RE for that matter.  

Sums up the entire experience.EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION:Call employer and confirm: Current IncomeType of employeeDates of employmentIn some cases, if it's a large corporation (employment verification) or apartment complex (rental verification), you need to go through a couple of extra steps and sometimes provide written consent to get this information.Warning: If they are a bad tenant, then the current landlord may say amazing things about them (to get them out of the current unit) -- sad, I know.

He has an agent that he works with (sadly before I got my license) whom he asked to door-knock about this house.  

However, the parents are still alive (but sadly close to the end of life) so obviously the kids would lose the benefit of basis step-up if they sell prior to death. 

Yes it’s very sad I work in the medical field and see this a lot homelessness in the elderly is rising.

They have been in the house for nearly 60 years and, when I've brought up that we would like to be them out when they're ready to sell, they've told me that just makes them sad to think about it.
