Last one I took off,I picked a steady drizzle rain day,it kept me cool under my raincoat,,the dust all settled,,,very little dust to start with and took a potatoe fork and dumped it on the ground,,,alot like jerking off shingles.

You think they came in to get out of the rain?

If they tell you that they wish to see the property firs, then that's a judgement call.

Yes, I look at DTI (43% DTI for FHA) and I look at recent collections, tax liens, judgements, BK's, etc.If they have the down payment......who gives a crap???

It was a little squirrely because he rode his bike to the house every day and wanted to quit by 3pm everyday......but he showed up everyday (except rain days).

And siding/gutter/chimney work can happen pretty much anytime, as long as it's not raining or snowing.

J Scott threatening litigation against people like these is never a good idea, particularly when its a bluff. if the work was done right, ( or not at all), licensed or not, no " damages" actually exist...and lets say a miracle happens and a judgement is granted. ever heard the one about blood out of a turnip?....

There may be other issues that come up, like judgements against the seller.

An unpaid judgement is a bad debt.  

Here is a stand alone I did in my CA ranch style $4M value estate: The old version was fully enclosed and my designer demanded to go this route, note the separate and large shower with bench seating, rain heads and wall jets.Here is a rendering of my Beverly Hills master bath I am doing right now.
