Any experience writing contracts that release me from liability due to problems the tenants claim are related to the land?

You might find something with some equity that way and they may be able to extend closing time.

But even though there is a title company and escrow account involved, the same funds that the buyer would loan from my IRA would eventually get released to me by the title company when the escrow closes.What do you guys think about this?

Ont he application we ask them to choose between including the WSG in rent or paying a higher deposit to us to cover the grace extended (plus a deposit to the utility company).  

This is a 2800sqft house with a finish basement and I only paid $257,000 using VA loanThe point is you can find a great house, just extend your search outside a little and you will find a good deal.

well, evan, most title companies will find anything of concern to you in this adventure. however, you can visit your local municipality, such as the county assessors office, and look at the records for any house. if someone is going to put a lein on a property, they have to have a judgement from a court, and there will be a record of it. as regards to mortgages and such, they have to record these mortgages with the county as well. when the mortgages are paid off or otherwise satisfied, they have to file a release of lein or mortgage with the county records as well. in todays hi-tech world, all of this should be on the computer at the local county office. 

This will extend the life of the floor and will give an apartment a fresh look that will attract tenants.

I need some answers , I'm here in Hawaii and have a mortgage company that has not been recorded as a lein holder , not listed as a lein , however my original lender has released title or deed back to me .

Don't offer a lease that extends beyond your option. 

If so, seek a partial release for this lot.
