@Chaz Sztroin You see this quite a bit with 2-4 units since there are so many mom and pop landlords out there, with a lot of them being older.

If she is being this shady expect things to pop up after closing if it is not done cleanly.

The lender that is doing your refinance right now is watching your credit to make sure nothing new pops up.

I've seen Henry County explode since I was a kid and the growth is always focused on better schools (since schools pop up like weeds in Henry County) and people trying to "get away from the city."

If you ever do open a wall for plumbing repairs, it is always a great idea to leave an easy access panel where you can quickly pop open the panel to make any future needed repairs. 

Pop them with the screwdriver and pull them straight out with the linemans.

Anyways when I calculate what the current rents are Unit 1 800/moUnit 2 875/moUnit 3 275/mo (lot rent only)Unit 4 550/moUnit 5 675/moHouse 550/moUnit 8 800/moNow as the average lot rent is at 280 for mom and pop parks, I think that there is a possibility of raising that lot value up, and trying to get every unit on rent to own to allow them the opportunity to become home owners, which would benefit them and me.

In my experience it is mostly small mom/pop landlords who self manage a handful of properties.I always call the previous landlords, but I am well aware that some will lie to get rid of a bad tenant.

Purchase price: $315,000 Cash invested: $110,000 Sale price: $550,000 Asset was owned and ran by a mom & pop who held it as their 1st investment.

We work largely with investors so wholesale deals do pop up every now and then and have never been a problem for these guys.
