I did provide the notice of the violation via certified mail and provided a second copy delivered by hand of the need to clean up. 

I'm sure wiring money directly to the escrow company is fine, but it's not your only option; you should be able to get a cashier's check and deliver that directly to the escrow company as well.A personal check most likely will not suffice for REO earnest money, and if you try to wait to deliver the funds until after your inspections, you may find that the bank has dropped your contract, especially if there are other interested parties.Oh, and yes, if you decide to back out, the escrow company may take a week or two to return your earnest money...just part of the game...if you want to deal with REOs, you have to play...

The notice was delivered on Wednesday the 16th.The tenant, after receiving the notice, apologized for the delay.

The other LLPA changes, concerning FICO scores, have not changed since they were implemented on loans being delivered to Fannie & Freddie by May 1 (meaning they hit lenders pricing in March).

There are several steps you can take to cross-check their work to ensure that you are getting the best possible outcome for your investment.Firstly, it's essential to do your due diligence in selecting a reputable and experienced general contractor who has a proven track record of delivering high-quality work.

Alternatively, your tenant can simply initiate a new payment via Cozy.If you believe your tenant is breaching the terms of their lease agreement or that the dispute or fraud report is otherwise improper, you should pursue legal recourse outside of Cozy (in the same manner as if a tenant had placed a stop-payment order on a physical rent check delivered to you).

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Maybe I could deliver some discounted properties to you. 

He was delivering a Christmas basket to the tenant.

That was some pretty meaty content you just delivered.
