Typically, escrow follows the instructions in the purchase agreement.

There may be a hole hidden behind the couch or a burn mark under the chair.

However upon entering the apartment after it was completely vacant and keys were turned in we discovered NUMEROUS damages that had been hidden.

It's hidden value was that it was vacant and owned by the widow of a recently deceased businessman in my town, weeds growing up in the parking lot, and trash everywhere. 

Check with your insurance company - there may be some hidden benefits to having a security system.

@Paul Alvarez, Party A was an REO and they did not have a problem with the Double Escrow, I have to legslly include this disclosure in my Escrow Instructions.

Its the same reason why I leave specific showing scheduling instructions in the description.

You could easily do it with a little help.Remember to read all instructions especially the maximum room/floor size.

(I haven't bothered yet.)Since I typically make a new trust for each property it is not worth the hassle to get a tax ID or form a new corporation for each trust, especially when an existing corporation can be the beneficiary.My solution to the problem was to find a title company that will actually follow the trust as written, rather than violating the trust and insisting on payment in a manner contrary to the trust instructions. 

From my understanding the courses that are offered come with very detailed instructions on structuring deals and protecting yourself legally.
