So just purchased my first rental property last week and during closing the seller of the property got stuck paying a lean on the property for $4000 dollars due to several different old tenants not paying their electric bill. 

ADA is a bit different - If a business such as a hotel normally charges guests for damage that they cause, a customer with a disability may also be charged for damage caused by himself or his service animal.We have had 2 service animal guests.

We really have TWO SEPARATE markets here:Metro Detroit - basically the suburbs.City of Detroit - self-explanatory.They are very different markets!

Not just a lender who can put together a loan document (they all can do that), but someone who is interested in your goals and can advise you in different strategies, downpayment assistance programs, etc that can get you going.From there your financial strategy and the local market will begin to steer you in a direction of homes available and that fit your finances.

If it is truly a bad deal, that's a different story; I can't answer that for you.Reality is that if you are a long term buy and hold investor, your purchase price really doesn't matter that much.

House hacking is a great way to get started in real estate when you don't have a ton for a down payment, but after doing 2 myself there are a few things I might have done differently. 

I have done things with attorneys, CPAs, stock brokers, insurance brokers and others successful in business.General business knowledge, understanding of financing requirements, knowing property valuations, maturity in personal financial matters to give general advice, understanding of the foreclosure process, legal aspects as to liability in leading someone into financial matters, fully understanding fraud issues and the differences in a general matter where fraud might be applied as generally thought of and what may constitute bank fraud causing or even attempting to cause a loss to an insured bank having different standards.

Usually spending a few minutes skip-tracing and talking to anyone I can find with knowledge of the property uncovers the fraud if it is indeed a fake seller (most often the number that my skip-tracing software computes is different than the one the scammer is using and when I call it I get the real owner who is surprised to hear that someone is selling their property).

We were able to put a deal together 10 years later after the sale of a different property in Aurora, CO.

Every state is different.
