I put my money in the coin slot and at that exact moment my body went stiff as a rock due to the ear piercing screech that went across the coming from what looked like an air plane but it had no color just the shape kinda like an airplane shadow.

If you're talking about either buying the PMI out upfront or paying it monthly, then have your lender calculate how long you would need to stay in the home to break-even on the upfront payment.

They can make or break a deal

That attic must have had great ventilation; heat and dampness tends to break down the covering over the wire.

Of course if they decide to leave I would try to get the Zillow estimate of $3592 for new renters"So old tenants deserve some sort of break but new tenants don't?

If you want to go ahead and start looking for a new place, we'll waive the penalties for breaking your lease with 30 days notice prior to the start of a rental period and refund your deposit if you leave the place clean and completely empty."

I feel the city would offer support with incentives and tax breaks since the mayor just visited us the other day to try to troubleshoot this lack of housing as well. 

Just ask them what they need to clear up.Could be something like there is a break in the chain of title, that they need to clear up, or let's say there is a lien from a bank that is no longer in business.   

Meaning, if it breaks even now and rents go up each year, then it will only improve.  

@Jibu V. wow tough break.
