We know that we can get their opinions on costs as well as how they plan to build things (some we do not need to provide a detail for) throughout the project and we are contracted directly with the client - from a referral from the contractor (this works the other way around as well). 

Thoughts and opinions are always appreciated. 

In my opinion, the potential liability isn't worth not disclosing.

In my opinion, no way. 

(it's harder to get loans thus making for more renters)However, in my opinion, it's best to just get on with it. 

Even with a more expensive property if you have $10-15k still in the property that is not a deal breaker in my opinion. 

Just my opinion. 

In my personal opinion many people latch onto W2 income for far longer than necessary.

I agree with you 100% not to get into the business to be emotionally attached to tenants and that end game your focus should be maximizing how much your property is valued at.My question to you based off that is in your opinion, based off your experience, when dealing with inherited tenants, do you view them as assets or liabilities? 

@George LiIn my opinion you need to do whatever it takes to designate your property within the 45 day window.Be up front with the different agents and if they don't want to work with you then move on as time is of the essence.Happy hunting.
