The biggest problem getting comps is that the property is right by Blue Ridge Blvd which is a major thoroughfare and it appears to be a dividing line between a nicer area to the southeast with homes selling for $90k-$100k+ and a lower-priced area (where your property is) to the northwest with homes ranging from $50k-$80k.

The other ones are average but their outside appearance is nicer and the build is newer. 

I know of someone who had a great job but had to move because of work during the downturn, the lender about a year after the sale came back after them for the balance and filed it in court.

I did a search and there doesn't appear to be a discussion on closing cost credits, when selling a home.I deal with a lot of 1st time homebuyers and it's pretty customary, in our region, to give a closing cost credit.

It appears that the condo complex she is in has recently divested itself of the Golf Course and Marina .

Of course, if other parts of the relationship (including behavioral and financial aspects) would lead the IRS (or the courts) to determine that a worker is an employee, that's one thing. 

You would have to go through the court system to have them removed.

Just got out of court yesterday trying to help an owner through one gone bad.  

@Valerie Moye It appears that the seller is looking for an all cash deal if you ask me, but that's just my limited observation.

I would caution that whatever route you take, be consistent to each and every tenant because if you say one thing but do 2 or 3 things, courts will not look positively at you for inconsistent practices.If/when you need to find new tenants, be sure to have your own application, use the GBREB forms, and I've used the smartmove background/credit check online system multiple times with much success.BTW, you will find multiple opinions of what to do or not do... neither is right or wrong, everyone has their own system that works for them, so you will need to make that choice on your own.
