They have the will stating them as the heir and have filed everything through their local county court in Massachusetts.The hang up, the title company here in Florida is saying that the property still needs to go through probate here in Florida which will take 8-12 weeks.Is this correct information that he will in essence be going through probate twice?

Your lender is correct.

Beyond that, your tenant is somewhat correct on the issue of carpeting, the most you could expect to recover would be the depreciated value based on the expected life of the carpet.

I believe Ray is correct...once they turn the keys over, they have surrendered the property and all it contents.... you can do whatever you want with it.Abandonment laws are for when tenants just disappear and you don't get notified or keys etc..... at that stage you don't know what they are doing....they may show up again and wonder where all their stuff is....in hos cases, you have to store it etc.You spoke and witnessed the move out and got keys.... its back in your possession and you can do whatever you want

@Martin Neal your bank is correct.

One cannot depend entirely on the realtor to know all the details; they are the sales agent, not the business partner.I've met many investors who say the master lease is the tool to use but I have not tried.Last month at a meet up, I found a man who vacationed annually in the Keys at an illegal VRBO.

Have you purchased any scripts or listing packages or marketing tools?

If I'm understanding your question correctly, it seems like your investor would sign the assignment contract with you.  

Things I can not find is the correct property tax, insurance as well as FHA insurance.
