You might need to invest out of state.

Just go look and see if the work is done if so pay her.. if not tell her no.OH I see your out of state.. 

- for now I'm stating that the property condition has not be improved since the year before, and pointed out there are many the delayed maintenance.

I am a first time home buyer looking to purchase an out of state investment property through a newly formed LLC (I am based in NYC, looking to buy in Ohio).

Tax deed auction last week there's a house in an economically depressed area in northern New York State (Clinton County). 

I understand an affidavit stating "I intend to occupy..." must be signed in order to obtain approval.  

LIHTC, HUD vouchers, state and county housing incentives? 

Lie to them and say you need this so that you know where to send them their security deposit.If you do sue and win your judgment review whether bank or wage garnishment is allowable in your state. 

In order for the broker to get paid they need to have a written agreement of how they are getting paid and by whom, everything has to be by the book, with full disclosures per your state law.
