Remembering I do roofing, siding , windows, plumbing, electrical etc.... 

I am living in a cave house (yes, we have electricity and Internet) in southern Spain.

Nobody ever promised me when I got into it that the business of real estate was bursting at the seams with deeply moral actors who had clean hands and pure hearts.

I'm looking at a deal where the wholesaler is saying he cannot guarantee a clean title.

Seeing this everyday I'm sure was a factor in my friends' brothers' delilberate demise.The renters helped me clean and paint beginning a few days before finishing yesterday. 

“She’s the best tenant, so clean, blah blah”.

I'm looking at buying my first owner occupied duplex/rental property.Comps = Median Price $149,000.00Duplex 1bld. 2units. 2bd / 2bth 13yrs. old Living area 1,800sqftList Price: $214,000Annual Gross Income: 20,400Annual Expense 4,366Annual Net Inc: 17,174.93Taxes: $2,362.00I don't know what the insurance is Tenants pay for electric, water, sewer and trash. 

Even the cleaning service is paid by the guests.

Fill any holes they use to get in , bait traps outside , snap traps inside , clean up trash and debris around the house . 

Since I'm not a lawyer and I don't know what state you're in, you'll need to find out if this property passed to this guy automatically because a living trust was in place, or if it needs to go through probate before he gets it, or if he was a joint owner with the sister.If all this is clean, then you should be able to buy it from the guy.
