These options usually have very little fees compared to getting a loan against the property and needing a title company and/or a real estate attorney involved. 

But now if there is a new, big stain in the carpet, I would charge them to have it cleaned. 

I am reviewing a property management agreement and came across this clause RE: Indemnification that seems too broad:INDEMNIFICATION:(a) The Owner shall indemnify, defend and save Agent harmless from all suits and/or other legal proceedings whatsoever and cost incurred therefrom in connection with the management of the Property and from liability for injuries suffered by any employee or other person whomsoever, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Agent or its employees, (b) The Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any costs, loss, expense or damage (including attorney's fees) suffered or incurred by the Agent arising out of or related to the enforcement of this Agreement arising out of a default or other breach by the Owner, the management, operation, improvement, alteration and leasing of the Property, including all other activities arising out of or related to Agent's duties under this Agreement or as a result of any act or thing done or permitted by the Agent or its agents or employees; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any such cost, loss, expense or damage to the extent that the same relates to or as a result of conduct by Agent which constitutes willful and wanton misconduct.It seems like if one of the Property Manager workers (aka Agent) slips and hurts himself while cleaning the floor the "Owner" is then responsible. 

Tenants tend to stay in SFH's longer than apartment rentals, so I would assume 3-4 years, and turn over could be as simple as a wipe down and carpet cleaning if the PM is doing their job and screening tenants appropriately (although even great screening doesn't always guarantee great, clean tenants).  

Congrats on cleaning up the neighborhood!!

In my experience it should not be your responsibility to pay the lien, it will get paid off prior to or at close.With that said, I have represented buyers and have personally purchased properties off of all the auction sites here in CT and in a lot of the cases the title did not come back clean initially.

Unless you have an arrangement with the buyer for a flat fee or  assignment I am not sure how you can run your negotiations with the seller with your end buyer present.I recommend involving the buyer once you have the property under contract or there is nothing to stop them cutting you out of the deal.

It's simple and clean but at the same time has a lot of capability. 

It's not in too bad shape, but was a smoker's house and hasn't had any cleaning done in years.Based on a quick walk-through I'm looking at internal painting, minimal external painting, carpet replaced (or removed to get to the hardwood floors where possible), a bunch of minor repairs to things like gutters/eaves/etc.In a perfect world, this relationship would continue to care for the property as issues occur in the future.

The house is already clean, it is open for you to have access to it."
