I hope that you've served the proper notices and the facts of the matter alone will be enough to end their attempts at forcing legal tenancy.

As I said in a prior thread, this may be a good deal if properly underwritten.

Which means if you purchase and manage it correctly, you can increase the income and substantially increase the overall value (even allowing you to borrow against that future equity).But also, there's enough going on that you want to be sure that you do not misjudge or properly conduct your due diligence.Please let me know if I can help.Scott  

$50k for very little work but it isn't even the amount of work it is the competency and not having to go through an intermediary who may not posture properly, may not negotiate properly, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.I should mention that it has been about 2.5 years, and the nail came through the middle of one of the pieces, practically shattering it (don’t really know how else to describe it).There are also a few spots where the installation doesn’t seem like it was done properly as the vinyl pieces have moved away from each other, creating open spots.

I'm not sure on the specifics in North Carolina but as long as you give them proper notice you shouldn't run into any issues.

If the odor is not properly mitigated that will cause ongoing problems.

Did you feel like you were properly prepared when you went after your first deal?

Some states are very clear that the buyer can have access for specific essential inspection purposes (measuring for furniture not being essential) and others are wide open and allow the buyer access for anything with proper notice to the seller.
