For my office, we have the following requirement:Tenant must request early termination in writing;Notice must be given 30 days in advance, or Tenant must pay 30 days of rent even if they are leaving sooner;Tenant agrees to pay a Early Termination Fee equal to one month of rent, due at the time notice is given;Tenant agrees to allow marketing and showing of the rental with 24 hours notice during the last 30 days of occupancy.You may be surprised to hear that over 80% of our tenants accept this and pay the penalty when they want to break a lease.For those that refuse to pay the penalty, we don't cry or beg or threaten.

You would analyze a property in different ways depending on it's unit size, and type (office, apartment, etc).

If you're looking at a specific home (or a small sample) you could try your local assessor's office to get the owner details to contact them.

in Florida we have to talk to the DMV’s main office (not local walk in) and request for a beer VIN.

Zoning, outdoor storage is fairly rare, depending where you are, condition of the improvements, are you looking for just a metal building or some office too?

If you take a copy of the liens to the Labor office downtown they will accept cashiers checks and give you paperwork showing it is satisfied while you wait.

Also who appoints officers for the association?

I don't have any immediate recommendations on who could do the clearing and site work, although I will query some of the agents in my office and get you some.  

@Niraj Maniar Yeah I think I find it challenging as a part-time agent because training for our office is during the day.

Actually you could do this yourself, execute a deed of trust have it notarized and note then take it to the recorder's office, but really, you should go to another attorney.Your sale contract most likely is a cash sale and the closing company/title company must close it as a cash transaction, that means they can't close it with a purchase money note and deed of trust.Execute your deed and note after the sale, you need to ensure the closing is recorded before you file your DOT.One good reason for you to do this is because people die and the note and DOT resolves estate issues, it is the proper thing to do.BTW, note and DOT or mortgage, which ever is used, basically shows the debt and encumbrance on the property. :)
