On June 11 I mail (not certified) & emailed the 'Notice to Vacate' expecting the tenant to take this matter as urgent. 

Bill GulleyEven though HUD rules are national, the different asset managers have different rules for example:1 asset manager wants the deposit check made out to the settlement companyanother A/M wants the EMD made out to the listing brokeranother A/M wants the EMD check made out to HUD1 asset manger will accept a broker's escrow account checkOther A/M want certified checks only1 A/M want the EMD check sent with the contract to the A/Manother A/M only wants a copy of the check sent with the contract1 A/M want $500 min deposit up to $50,000 price then 1% of price as EMCanother A/M wants $500 EMD then above that $1,000So most of the HUD rules are the same but not all, go figure.

They must sen in the utility request turn (sent to you in your signed docs from hud) on sheet with a certified check for $150 to huds property preservation company if they want the water on.

Not an expert on this, but @Mark Ferguson is.

Doesn't matter if you approach the small bank now or later the outcome will be the same they will just ask for evidence of cash in the bank when you sell the property (certified closing statement from escrow and papertrail into your account).

I've got a decent amount of experience but I'm by no means an expert.

So many experts in their own field coming together to create this wonderful community where no one judges anyone.

There are a few things you need to become an expert at.

I love this site and provides a huge amount of information that is beneficial, but I feel that I need some "hands on" learning from an expert-as that is how I learn the best.
