If they were petty and had plenty of money to burn, I guess they would sue you.All that being said, let me tell you what I tell my clients:  "You are buying the house/property, not the sellers." 

Husband burned out after 4 months.

You will learn a ton from the pros and save yourself a lot of time, energy, money etc.

It could have been bought for $6k because it was mostly burned down for all you know. 

A lot of loan officers will say to do this, I have had a few say the same, but upon review of the actual mortgage docs, you will learn that you COULD have your mortgage called.Fannie does allow the transfer into an LLC after any owner-occupant period burns off, but doing so in short order would be a default in mortgage and could have it called immediately. 

What you wouldn't want to do is buy something that you're negative $1000 a month, since that would burn through any savings you had pretty fast - but if you follow the advice on BP that seems unlikely.

So is the style, gas or wood burning.

It's 10p and I'm burning the midnight oil, editing videos for my 9-5.

And the fact that it's a ranch essentially makes it less energy efficient and also more roof per living space than, say, an 1,800sqft 2 story home.

We always have declined and referred them to the local property management company, but have thought that would be a good way to make money if we had more time and energy to get it all organized.
