Buyer to verify data prior to offer."

That is something you need to be aware of prior to rental and inform your tennent at the time of move in.

I think something got wet and needs a service call.The question now is, how strong an effort should I make to get the hot water heater lit for a tenant that has been dishonest and deliberately not paying me rent.She was served her Notice to Terminate today and she claims she will be out June 30 as instructed, but they are not trust worthy tenants.My first instinct is to try to get some money from them, at least to cover the cost of the service call, but perhaps there are better suggestions.

Wayne - please tell us the type foreclosure purchase you are considering: from the owner prior to foreclosure auction, from an auction company, trustee or sheriff sale or after property 'reverts' to lender (REO)?

My last purchase was from a letter sent 8 months prior to the seller calling me.

You signed a contract and in order to get out of it, you will need cancellation instructions signed by all parties.

Yet, I think that nearly every interested buyer soon found the old listing with the "mold issue" soon after the first showing and sometimes before it and they all were certainly concerned about it and just my explanations (I'm the listing broker as well) of how we totally followed the mold removal instructions, how it was really two small spots (but we had no proof of that!)

Yes, I would send a letter to the tenant notify the tenant of non renewing the lease of the sale of the property, If they would be occupying the property while it's on the market for sale , the showing instructions and how much notice will be given to them (24-48 hours).

Not much, other than to provide one more hurtle investors and Realtors have to overcome when instructing sellers on the true value of their home.
