Removed wall between the formal dining and living and walls between the living and kitchen.

I'm game...A snip-it from a post I did on this thread about investing in Wisconsin: Milwaukee is sitting on some of the most affordable housing in the country, is adjacent to one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has entertainment & food that rivals every major metro, it's sports teams bat way above average for a small market which attracts hundreds of thousands if not millions of people here annually, economic development has been happening at a level unprecedented since the '50s (we are breaking ground on the world's largest mass timber building in June), has a tech ecosystem on the ground floor of attracting major talents with partners from the fortune 500 companies in town... 

The fridge was full, I mean completely full, of absolutely rotten food.

Once there, middlemen and competition remove good from deal.

Food servers, exotic dancers, bar tenders = typically none of that "tip" income is on tax returns, same thing, doesn't "count." 

It seems that the AG is saying, once all contingencies are lifted - meaning you pass your inspection period or add an addendum waiving your partners right to cancel the contract, or remove any other contingency you included, you then have equitable interest and thus the right to market.I was at a presentation last year where the speaker was the state lobbiest for the Virginia Association of Realtors.  

If that answer doesn't stop you, then I'd say go for it because you haven't put a dent in the payoff with only 5 years removed, and your monthly payment wouldn't change much. 

The tenant responds she intends to pay, but had lost her job and has to pay for food and electric, etc with nothing left over.I sympathize and at the same time want to be paid. 

If there are liens, judgments that do survive the auction, would my attorney then be obligated to fight and remove them or will I just have to pay them?
