But even when there are complexities - such as a name match on derogatory public records or somebody with a common name so that all sorts of matches occur - it should take a week at most IMO.

You guys work so hard to heal the society!

Have you called the health district to see if there is room for new fields, wells, and tanks?

@Paul Caputo They are both in their 80's and due to health issues can't handle dealing with all the properties.So I guess that's the struggle for any newbie who does not have a ton of cash at hand.

Health is Wealth and time is the most powerful currency you are trying to get from some pretty exceptional people.

I had thought that there was public sewer so I never thought anything if it (very close to the city).

Tricky though that you don't want to start off by having a neighbor that may be poised to be difficult.If the fence and she are not permitted (can you do a look up in the public records) then the municipality likely will frown upon it and make him remove it or get it permitted, but then since the survey shows this to be 3ft over they may say he has to remove it.How about taking to the seller to have them cure this prior to closing?

Many if not most of the Fortune 500 companies who sell to the public use branding and the quality of your rehabs is "your brand".

@James Masotti If you are going after power with numbers - how about a group health insurance since many are self-employed? 

I know it's tough because you feel like you're kicking out someone who is dealing with health issues, but you can't look at it like that.
