Hi Daniel, first off thank you for service to our country!

Have you checked into you local Foreclosure Auctions held by the Clerk of the Court, or Tax Deed Sales by same?

We are also working with a local acquaintance who is very active/familiar with the unique market of rural "country" rentals & is helping us with the necessary contract docs., tenant screening, etc.1.)

Seems the courts in OH and NJ are find this to be the case.

., the court found that in determining unconscionability, the trial judge may consider: 1) the amount of the proposed rent increase; 2) the landlord’s expenses and profitability; 3) how the existing and proposed rent compare to rents charged at similar rental properties in the geographic area; 4) the relative bargaining position of the parties; and 5) based on the judge’s general knowledge, whether the rent increase would shock the conscience of a reasonable person.In my opinion if you're basing the increase on market conditions and not on trying to take advantage of anyone or increase the rent as a way to eliminate a tenant you'll probably be fine.

Even if you take it to court chances are there is something in your paperwork that probably protects them.

I recently went to a court house in downtown Los Angeles I was advised to research probate deals with the court house computer, however after looking through many documents I have no clue what I am looking for.

Not everyone lives in flyover country and not everyone does this full time.  

I told her that I didn't want to back out of the sale and she stated that the attorneys and courts will have to figure it out because were not loosing 12,000 on this sale. 

Same thing some expats do when when they have been out of the country for many many years.Why, you might ask?
