This is a mistake that novices make all the time.

However I wouldn't recommend this or wish ownership of these liabilities on my worst enemies. 

(I'm guessing the worst case scenario can be long drawn and complex).- Also, from my research I've come across the option to use Tax Title Certification instead of barment.

Unfortunately, many make the mistake of solely looking at the numbers when that is not the entire picture.

Are the properties empty or worst case on MTM leases you can end in 30 days?

Most people make the mistake on putting to much moey down or use "All cash" and then need to pull it out later at a higher rate.

A principal (who is not well versed in contract law) in a transaction can draft their own contract form just like someone accused of murder can represent themselves...and both would be making a grave mistake.

The worst part is that it's usually way too easy to get your license, and the consequences for these sleazy agents are usually non-existent or not harsh enough. 

Worst case, slap on some primer, throw down a rug, and voilà: a "blank canvas for the next homeowner."

The worst thing you can do is inherit a bad tenant and then you'll have to go through the eviction process.
