Here are a couple things you forgot to mention- you shut the electricity off on us the day we moved in (with 100 degree temperatures), you left a non working washing maching in the laundry closet filled with brown water and made us take it out... you also had us walk through the back yard with you and there had been drought for days, so the mud wasnt visible... and in your lease it stated that we were to make you aware of any changing conditions of the property... also i first approached you about the issue asking if we could and i quote “seed the back yard ourselves and just take it out of rent” i never asked you for sod, i never demanded it- actually the first person to mention sod in our emails was you! 

I do and never had any issues filling a vacancy because of that requirement. 

Fill it up, pump it out, ad infinitum. 

Here in Cleveland I can have my unit filled quick.

If you have any realtor friends, find out if they may be willing to add you (it is a single form they fill out, cost to you is like $80/yr).

Get a hand pump yard sprayer, fill it with straight white vinegar and spray every bit of the carpet.   

I have three questions in filling out a out an LOI- How long is a standard due diligence  process ? 

Mike can fill in the details on that one if he wants!

Get started faster...use relationships to fill the void of uncertainty and fear.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We typically fill them out on the spot.
