Professional sports mogul and rancher Stan Kroenke, whose holdings include the Los Angeles Rams football team, has been approved to purchase the iconic W.T.

However I would have a professionally inspected and there's nothing wrong with contacting the selling agent and asking what is going on.

Here they way we think:  our A/B properties are in areas with soild income/professionals that have good schools.  

The dirty tenant should have wording in the lease about keeping the unit clean and should also be billed for professional extermination.
