Once a tenant is in and they sign a year lease, there’s not too much to worry about aside from the occasional fix here and there.

I understand the seller wants to move froward, but if they are not willing to give you information on the asset that you're purchasing, that is certainly not a good sign. 

As though my phone conversation with them had never taken place.5) There was an applicant who signed the lease and was supposed to move in Nov 15th (by now).

(Let's put up beware of dogs signs and have a pack of dobermans patrolling the grounds.)  

And also I inherited the tenant and havent signed lease with them been advised to better honor the same terms of the seller until their contract finish.

This holds the unit for 5 to 7 days until the lease signing, and once the rental agreement is signed this binder payment becomes your security deposit.

In Alabama the utilities being turned off is a sign of abandonment so we would not have put it in our name.

The advice is downright bad; not applicable to the average Billy & Barbara, some signs of bragging among other concerns.

I felt like the owner gave me a pretty good deal and thought the stars would never align more then now.
