And the best part is is that I see why there has been a back up in the drain lines and it will be about 1/2 hour to fix and $20 in PVC piping! 

Yes, that is next Monday June 30th from 6pm to 9ish.Best part is that our club is free of charge and we crank out deals every month.

This is going to be a small cash deal and neither party is represented by an agent.

What I do think is important (and something a lot of people dont do) is communicate and make sure both parties are onboard with what ever the plan or present feelings are. 

Did either party do that?

There is a special section in the Landlord Tenant Act that covers duties of both parties for each scenario.  

You can have two perfectly honorable parties trying to be fair with each other but when you are not on site you do not know what your contractor finds and pictures don't tell the whole story.  

Having two parties in the middle makes for a very convoluted transaction.

I made him a casual offer and wonder how I can legally do the following to purchase the property as a rental/investment property.Transfer the title to a third party.

If the bank Did go through withe foreclosure(went to auction) then either they got title, or a third party got title, and their mortgage is no loner a "lien".
