At this point, it seems they won’t be satisfied without a roof replacement and it may not be worth the hassle and premium to find a policy with a roof exclusion.

Don't forget you have to pay the buyer's premium too.

Apparently this property is on 10 acres, 7 of which are wooded and good for hunting.

Usually, the requirement is that you do not sell the property for a certain number of years based on the amount of money you received + keep renting to low income families.Im currently using such a program to renovate a large duplex I own, which is also a historic home ( expensive all wood - no vinyl- new windows, de-leading, etc...).

Those with good school districts tend to attract higher rent premiums, offer better appreciation potential, and lower risk as they are the last to decline during bad economic times.  

Our tax lien foreclosure is final and they are going to pay a hefty premium to get their property back.

Is this house in Windsor Woods by any change?  

The new deck was built with pressure treated wood, it's 12x14 with some stairs and cost $5300 to build (had a local one-man contractor do it). 

That little bit more out of pocket is offset by much more affordable premiums out of your pay. 

I will be sending a letter requiring the cat to be removed.Alternatively, IF the cat is removed, and because they are otherwise good tenants and pay rent on time - I've permitting a new lease, if they are willing to put down a deposit that will pay for new wood floors and odor removal when they move out.
