Are they doing everything they can to expose properties to the widest possible market?

Although I am new real estate investor, I have been well exposed to the industry for many years.

If I buy it in an LLC, financing becomes expensive, if I buy it in my own name, I get a better rate but I am more exposed. 

However, looking through windows, I did notice owner tore out all carpet exposing some foundation issues.

Allow 20% vacancy $5,760 equals $23,040 annual income.Income via annual leasing is approximately $1,500/mo tenants pay own electric/propane.

I've recently been exposed to the fantastic power of having mentors, and this has greatly assisted other parts of my life.

All these forms being submitted by resellers and wholesalers, just to keep a deal in their inventory has now a strong impact on how the State is receiving funds.Several investors have already contacted the Tax Commissioner in Alabama and lawmakers to expose the issue.

He would've been smarter to keep that piece of paper himself so he wouldn't have gotten exposed. 

Essentially the estoppel is the tenants attestation of the terms of her/his tenancy - we always secure them as the process often exposes any "verbal" arrangements the tenant has with the Vendor and corroborates {most of the time}, the information disclosed by the Vendor.In drafting an estoppel certificate we look to capture:a) The length of the tenancy - how long has the tenant been in residence;b) The type and term of the lease - i.e. written or verbal; annual or month-to-month.c) The amount of rent;d) What is included in the rent (i.e. utilities, parking, etc);e) Any amounts paid to the Vendor in addition to the rent (i.e. utilities);f) Any abatements or set-offs made to the Tenant (i.e. rent discount for services (superintendent; cleaning, etc));g) Amount of security deposit collect at start of tenancy;h) Whether there is an existing default or breach of the lease on the part of the landlord;i) Whether there are any proceedings commenced or pending against the Tenant or landlord w/r to the leased premises; andk) Whether there is an agreement between Tenant and Landlord, pertaining to the obligations of each party other than that contained in the Lease.

Your ENTIRE ESTATE is now exposed and open to discovery.
