Unless he calls for a necessary repair(health and safety) then just give a standard "my attorney is handling everything and I have been advised to allow the legal system to proceed" something to that effect.c) File for a judgement for lost rent and damages and when you receive it make sure it gets recorded.Now all that has a HUGE caveat.

When there is not even near enough info to make that judgement?

It has a brand new roof, new siding, trim and rain gutters - but needs a new kitchen, bathroom and flooring.The paint is actually peeling away from the plaster on the walls and ceilings, but the plaster itself is still in good shape.They wanted $9,900 for the house, we offered $6500 and they accepted this morning.

I received a judgement against the mother, but they told us we would have to go to small claims court to get a judgement against the daughter.

While we wait to get to it, it keeps raining.

I am in Minnesota, dosn't get much worse for winter then here, and no, hell no, why would the difference in how the rain falls matter to if I will flip or not??????

Any rain from the front half of the house would end up emptying right at the foundation of the house.

Terry I don't know your contract or your agent but based on what you have posted they are not a very skilled agent and missed many protections on your behalf.It sounds like to me based on the verbage the sellers have not started eviction AT ALL.The simply sent an e-mail or some other junk asking the tenants to leave.You will have to go when you buy and do the whole process.Generally this time of year the court system takes off about a month between Thanksgiving and New years with various days off.This causes a backlog of eviction hearings and writs being executed once a judgement is in your favor.You might not get these people out until January or February depending on the back log of evictions taking place.I would find a contingency to terminate the agreement on and then go under contract under different terms and protections.If you are not satisfied with the agent and their mistakes you need to talk to the head broker and demand help.I spent about 45 minutes on the phone today helping one of my agents review an offer for their buyer and the agent missed about 15 different tips and tricks because they did not have the experience I do so I helped them out.Just because it is a family and they seem nice doesn't mean they won't trash the place.I have seen people go from nice to crazy in a split second.Until that place is empty and the locks are changed and you know what condition you are buying in I wouldn't touch it.No legal advice.

wont leak till it rains,,or 5 years down road.

I could've accepted their offer but I knew that the taxes hadn't been paid for 7 years, there were potential judgements and due to all that, the money I need to put in for rehab and the cost, I wasn't willing to accept that risk.
