You may also want title insurance to protect you from claims and faults prior to your parents purchase. 

All my reserves for my property is fully funded prior to buying.  

Funny timing on this as my agent actually used this on our most recent purchase (I can't take any credit as I admittedly had no idea prior to him explaining it on a previous offer we made). 

Obviously NO to the rent reduction, At end of lease raise rent 3-5%.As for the dog if you have a no pet policy why would you consider allowing a pet.

There is no way to know if it has stopped settling as I have only owned it since January this year.So my questions:  do I need to do major repairs prior to selling the home such as lifting the post and beam foundation, or can I just shore up the posts underneath? 

This is my guess but I recently saw a prior year allocation from a prior owner that essentially would have charged each of the occupied units $33,333 since they each benefited from 33.33% of the total amount spent on CAMs.

I am prepared to bid at sheriff's sale all the way up to my amount plus the first-position amount.Several years prior, there was a leak in the roof. 

Ideally you're hitting those areas with it when they are exposed (prior to covering or painting).Another thing you can do that will help while you're gone is to buy one of those ozone generators from amazon (under $100) and let that run overnight and ideally for multiple consecutive days when you're away.

So if you can carry that payment for the months it takes to finish the rehab prior to selling or renting it out, you are successful.

@Chad Urbshott  Hey guys this is what I get daily in Vegas for free.. from the title co.. and then when your there to bid there is a rep from the title company walking around talking to bidders when you have further questions.. all for non charge they just want you to use them if you win /  when you resell.1177-10-818-1001115 ADELMAN DR8912320061009-1300 - DOT POS UNK - $30,800** BID WITH CAUTION **PRIOR UNRELEASED DOT RECORDED 11-03-2004, WILL ATTEMPT INDEMNITY $217,500DOT IN FIRST POSTION RECORDED 10-09-2006 $247,2002138-09-713-0347625 ADVANTAGE CT8912920071102-01702 - 1ST DOT - $258,205** UNABLE TO INSURE **ACTIVE BANKRUPTCY CASE - NO ORDER LIFTING STAY ENTERED3178-16-412-00962 ANCIENT HILLS LN8907420060321-3223 - 1ST DOT - $480,853** BID WITH CAUTION **LIS PENDENS RECORDED 04-05-20194179-20-812-089688 ANNE LN8901520060721-542 - 1ST DOT - $128,000HOA - (ASSESSMENTS) RECORDED 03-12-2019 $1,6405177-16-610-009360 AUTUMN HUE AVE8912320070822-4937 - 1ST DOT - $564,350** UNABLE TO INSURE **PROPERTY SOLD.
